[edit]

The section of this page describing the bust in detail claims the pillar commemorates William Pitt the Younger. In fact, Pitt the Younger was just eight years old when the bust was made. I doubt the pillar honored Pitt by putting his young boy's head atop. I will not attempt to change the article, as I don't for sure what was on the missing pillar. If the pillar had a boy's head on it, that remarkably unexpected form of honor to the boy's father should be clearly explained in that section, IMHO.
