Monument to Brodie McGhie Wilcox

The monument takes the form of a tall sandstone obelisk with a pyramidal top, set on a battered pedestal with raised panels, resting in turn upon a stepped granite plinth. An armorial cartouche is mounted on the obelisk. An inscription on the pedestal reads: ‘In Affectionate Remembrance of Brodie McGhie Willcox Esq. of Portman Square London. For 15 years one of the representatives for the Borough of Southampton Hants, who departed this life the 6th of November 1862, in his seventy eighth year. Deservedly Lamented.' Further inscriptions on the pedestal commemorate his wife Sophia Ann (d.1876), his daughters Ellen (d.1871), Marion Elizabeth (d.1903) and Rose Maria (d.1909), and his son Brodie Augustus (d.1901)
