The caryatids in the garden of Ketteringham Hall were discovered to be the originals from the Nelson Monument in Great Yarmouth. They were cast in 1819 in London, and were removed from the Nelson Monument in 1896. It appears that at this time they were acquired by the owner of Ketteringham Hall and put on display in the garden.
