Description
The Monument to Thomas Hutton, located 155 meters west of the Archer Pavilion, is a Grade II listed structure. It is made of red brick, with a facing of pale yellow brick laid in Flemish bond on the west and side elevations. The central plaque on the west elevation is crafted from Italian marble and framed in Portland stone.
The monument stands approximately 2.5 meters high and features a pedimented wall. The west elevation slightly projects, showcasing a brick band beneath the central plaque and simple brick mouldings at the pediment. The rear elevation displays the rough red brick structure, which is partially supported by a short buttress at the base. The inscription on the Italian marble plaque at the center of the west elevation reads: 'To the Memory/of/Thomas Hutton Esq/of Somerset House/Who often took great delight/In this Place/And/Whose Company was always/Usefull and Agreeable/To his Friend/Henry Duke of Kent.'
