Munn Monument C5 Metres West Of Church Of The Holy Trinity

The Munn Monument, located approximately 5 metres west of the Church of the Holy Trinity, is a Grade II listed structure dedicated to James Munn, who lived from 1836 to 1871. It was erected in 1873 and is designed in a richly carved Gothic style. The monument has a square base with a stepped foundation and a weathered plinth. Its corners are elongated and angle-buttressed, and it features polished shafts that flank arched panels. These panels are topped with slender, moulded gablets that taper down to a band supporting an octagonal spirelet. On the south face of the monument is a bust of James Munn, while the springing of the arches showcases carved heads. The side panels are inscribed, with the west side noting that the monument was erected through public subscription. James Munn was the eldest son of Robert Munn, the owner of Stacksteads Mill, and he tragically died at the Lytham Regatta in 1871.
