Freestanding limestone memorial, erected in 1846, to the design of Joseph E. Kirk R.H.A. Comprising statue of Marquis of Downshire surmounted on a squared pedestal with cut stone plinth. Surrounded by cast-iron spear-headed railings. Inscriptions on north, east and west faces of pedestal read: 'Born October 8th 1788', 'Died April 12th 1845' and 'Arthur Blundell Sandy's Trumbull Hill, Marquis of Downshire', respectively. Situated on crest of a hill looking down Church Walk to the gates.
This imposing monument, located in a prominent position looking down Church Walk, provides a striking focal point within the church complex. Erected in honour of The Third Marquis of Downshire, who laid the foundations of modern Edenderry, the statue is a physical reminder of the town's heritage.
