About the memorial: The memorial is in the grounds of Storrs Hall at the end of a stone jetty at the south end of the peninsula that Storrs Hall Hotel is situated on. This octagonal structure was designed by Joseph Gandy for Sir John Legard (the then owner of Storrs Hall) in 1804 as a Gazebo or Belvedere and is built of dressed stone upon a random stone plinth or platform, which in turn is founded on solid rock. The roof is of wood, covered with lead, and on the top is a flagstaff from which a flag used to be flown on lake regatta days. There are 4 tablets, each with one word, commemorating Admirals Duncan, St. Vincent, Howe & Nelson (each 700 mm high, 900mm wide). The hotel is 2 miles south of Bowness Pier. It is not safe to take close up images of the tablets
