Description
The Pyramid Monument, located approximately 25 meters north-west of St Anne's Limehouse Parish Church, is a churchyard monument dating from around 1730. It is made of Portland stone and features a square pyramid design, with each face divided into five fielded panels. The south side displays a worn armorial relief beneath the inscription "THE WISDOM OF SOLOMON." An engraving of St Anne's Church by Woods after Hablot Browne from around 1850 shows the monument raised on a low square base and surrounded by railings.
