Description

The monument to Thomas Wiley, built in 1853, is a commemorative structure designed by an unknown artist for the Sheffield and Rotherham Licensed Victuallers Association. It was relocated in 1879 after the almshouses it is associated with were rebuilt in a new location.

Constructed from sandstone ashlar, the memorial is situated in front of the Licensed Victualler’s Almshouses, aligned with the central hall. It features a Gothic Revival style, resembling a square tower topped with a spire. The base is elevated, with a plinth and crenelated parapet, supported by angle buttresses and four moulded arched panels.

The east-facing panel, which looks towards the road, bears an inscription that honors Alderman Thomas Wiley. It states that the monument was erected in memory of Wiley by the voluntary subscriptions of the members and friends of the Sheffield and Rotherham Licensed Victuallers Association, acknowledging his generous donations to their asylum. He was the first donor to the institution, inspiring others to contribute sufficient funds for the construction of the adjacent buildings. The inscription notes the monument's relocation from the old institution at Grimethorpe to its current site upon the completion of the new buildings in 1879.

Above the main inscription, there is a smaller pedestal with diagonal buttresses and crocketed spires, featuring four arched panels with hood moulds. At the top, a tall, octagonal spire with a crocketed finial completes the monument.
