Description

Inscription: William George Frederick Cavendish Bentinck, born MDCCCII, died MDCCCXLVIII. (b.1802, d.1848)

From an information board in the square: "The statue of Lord George Bentinck, descendant of Lord Harley, devotee of the Turf, and politician, is by Thomas Campbell, 1851."

Lord Harley was the owner of the Marylebone estate which he planned in 1717, with Cavendish Square as its centrepiece, named after his wife, Lady Henrietta Cavendish Holles, through whom he succeeded to the estate.
