The Warkton reference is alluding to Louis-Francois Roubillac - renowned for portrait sculptures and busts - e.g. in Warkton there was a memorial to John, 2nd Duke of Montagu - this monument being erected by Mary Churchill (daughter of the Ist Duke of Marlborough)
Roubiliac did a terracota bust of William Hogarth circa 1741
