Description
This obelisk, located approximately 600 metres west of the house at Baldersby Park, is likely from 1733 and is constructed of ashlar. It features a square base that is about 3.5 metres wide and has a two-stage plinth with moulded chamfers, standing approximately 2.5 metres high. The tall shaft is built in diminishing courses and is now heavily weathered, reaching a height of around 12 metres. This structure may be the 'pillar' mentioned in the Robinson family letters. The estate was formerly known as Newby Park.
