Wellington Memorial Behind Sezincote House Orangery

The Wellington Memorial, located behind the orangery at Sezincote House, is a Grade II listed structure from the early 19th century. Originally a chimney from the orangery, it has been repurposed as a memorial to the victories of the Duke of Wellington. The memorial is constructed from coursed squared and dressed limestone and features cast-iron memorial plaques. It has a square plan with a plinth supporting a tapering chimney that culminates in a battlemented top with a moulding below.

On the south side, there is a cast-iron plaque with some missing lettering that reads: "18_5 / WATERLOO / 18th JUNE / PARIS / CAPTURED / _ JULY." A second plaque is positioned at a higher level on the west side, stating: "WELLINGTON / 1800 / DEFEAT / OF DOONDIA / WAUGH / 10 SEPTR." This inscription is repeated on a lower plaque on the south side, and there is also a plaque on the north side that records the defeat of Doondia, suggesting that the monument may have originally featured additional memorial plaques.
