Description
Midge Monument is a structure dating from 1766, with the date inscribed on a panel that has been re-set on the wall of a garage next to the east side of Holme Park school, which is listed separately. The monument is made of coursed rubble and stands approximately 15 feet high, with a square base measuring about 4 feet on each side. It features a pyramidal cap, which is about 3 feet wide and has a broken apex, with a rectangular opening on each face. The inscription on the re-set slab reads: "Hic jacet MIDGE/Equa minima Equa maxima,/Quoe super hoc Ericeto/semper in Curfu fuit./Victrix Ob. 17 Dec 1766/AEtat 30 Nil ortum tale."
