7. The John Cheere lead statue of Samson and the Philistine /Cain and Abel at Seaton Delaval.

 

 

Part 7.

The Seaton Delaval Samson and the Philistine Cain and Abel.

Attributed to John Cheere - there is a lead group of David and Goliath also attributed to John Cheere in the same garden.

The gardens surround the Hall which was built between 1718 and 1728.

Again it is impossible to be sure of the Cheere attribution until concrete evidence appears.

It is impossible to make comparisons without better photographs.

The National Trust website states John Cheere
