Description
The obelisk, located about three-quarters of a mile north of Hagley Hall, dates from the mid-18th century and was commissioned by George, First Lord Lyttleton. It is constructed of sandstone ashlar on an ashlar-faced brick base. The structure features a square pedestal with a moulded base and cornice that supports a tall, tapered, slender shaft with a moulded plinth; however, the upper section of the shaft is missing. This obelisk is one of several buildings erected in the park as part of George Lyttleton's landscaping scheme in the new Picturesque style. Positioned on a very prominent site, it has become a local landmark.
