Description
Peel Monument is a square tower built between 1851 and 1852 as a tribute to Sir Robert Peel for his role in repealing the Corn Laws. The design was created by the members of the Monument Committee, which included Grant, Ashton, Knowles, Gorton, and possibly Cunliffe. At the request of William Grant, the Chairman, the tower was aligned with St Andrew's Church Tower as seen from his residence, Nuttall Hall. The monument is constructed of rubble, partly coursed, and stands 128 feet high. It features a narrow, slightly tapering upper stage with four stories, each having a single two-light mullioned window on each face and a corbelled battlemented top. The wide base consists of a single storey with one and two-light windows and is also battlemented, making it a prominent landmark.
