Description
The Wellington Monument is a structure erected in 1844 by Colonel Richard Elmhurst. It is a granite obelisk that stands 36 feet high on a rectangular stepped base. At the top of the monument is a bust of the Duke of Wellington. An inscribed panel on the base notes that the nearby Waterloo Wood was planted "from Acorns Sown Immediately After the Memorable Battle of Waterloo."
