Description

The obelisk, located southwest of Booths Hall, is a mid-18th century structure made of rusticated stone. It stands approximately 7 meters high on a plain stone base and features a projecting cornice at the top, which supports a large urn with a flower head or flame. This obelisk is believed to have been erected as a memorial to the Legh family after the original Norbury Booths Hall was demolished in 1745. Booths Hall itself is not included in this listing.
