Description
The Obelisk is a notable structure located in Warminster, dating from 1783. It commemorates the inclosure of the parish and stands on the site of the High, or Emwell, Cross. The obelisk features a triangular stone shaft that tapers upwards, resting on a moulded triangular base. At the top, there is a small moulded cap that is crowned with a reeded urn and a pineapple. Additionally, there is a former drinking fountain with a lion's mask spout located on the east corner. The Obelisk is a distinctive feature with fine proportions, situated at a road junction.
