Title
Monument to Leonora, wife of Lord Eustace of Kildare
Description
A double image of two girls crying despairingly on the steps at the foot of a gothic stone monument. The monument is made up of arches in a square shape supported by columns. Pitch roofs with ornate carving cover the arches. The girls are both wearing capes and skirts. One girl has ringlets in her hair. Either side of the monument is fenced in with an ornate metal fence containing a floral design. There is a large cross to the right of the monument and a fir tree to the left. A neatly trimmed hedge runs behind.
