The model of Fowler’s Plough was stolen from its plinthcxxi. It had been badly damaged some years earlier and was incompletecxxii. A replica has since been made but has not been placed in the park for fear of theft and vandalism. The granite plinth still remains.
A bronze replica of a steam-powered plough was moved to the park from the garden of
Pierremont, which belonged to Henry Peasexliii. The model was made in memory of John
Fowler whose design of the original instrument, on which this model was based, had won a
first prize at a royal showxliv. Fowler, who died in 1864, was married to one of the daughters of
the former M.P., Joseph Peasexlv.
