A statue depicting the legend of Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars, suckling the She-Wolf. The figures are set on a rectangular plinth that has decorative panels of vermiculation to each side. This is carried on four square columns which are decorated with raised semi-circular motifs on all four sides. The whole stands on a pedestal and the rear edge of a boundary wall. The inscription on the base records the statue's erection to commemorate the kindness shown to Prisoners of War during their internment in the Wells area.
