Description
The Frankland Monument, located in Stanmer Park, Brighton, was erected in 1775 in memory of Frederick Frankland. This monument is made of Coade stone and has a triangular shape with a Classical design. The base features a Latin inscription and supports a slightly concave column that rests on three headless tortoises. The column is detailed with a rope moulding at the base, concave fluting, a swelling pattern of palm leaves, and roundels in rectangular panels on each face. Two of these roundels contain Classical figures, while the third has an inscription noting that the monument was erected by Thomas, Lord Pelham, and his wife Ann, who was Frederick Frankland's daughter. Additional decorative elements include a palmette frieze, an egg-and-dart cornice, and a fluted blocking course, with a funerary urn crowning the structure.
