Description
The obelisk located approximately 150 metres east of Newton House is a wellhead and obelisk, possibly dating from 1882. It is constructed from tooled sandstone and sandstone ashlar, featuring a timber sluice gate. The structure is square in plan and has a stepped plinth supporting a tall die with an overhanging flat cap, which is topped by the obelisk. The east and west sides of the die display long Latin inscriptions. The east side reads: "Quae dat aquas, saxo laiet Hospita nympha sub imo Sic tu cum dederis dona, Latere relis Nesciat sinistra Quid Dextra porrigat." The west side is largely illegible, but it includes the name Ionas Browne and the characters LXXXII. This obelisk is said to commemorate the transformation of moorland into a pleasure garden.
