Description
The obelisk located in the southwest corner of St James' Gardens is believed to be dedicated to Charles Fitzroy, the first Baron Southampton, and his wife Anne, who passed away in 1797 and 1810 respectively. It is made of stone and features a rectangular plinth with a tapering shaft, although the upper part is broken. The monument displays an armorial relief of two birds flanking a shield, topped with a coronet. This structure resembles the Way tomb, which dates from 1804 and was created by John Bacon junior, who may also have been responsible for this obelisk. The Southampton family was known to have significant landholdings in the southwest area of what is now Camden.
