Description
This obelisk, built in 1812, is located approximately 350 metres north-east of Kirby Misperton Hall. It is constructed from sandstone ashlar and sits on a tooled sandstone base and plinth. The obelisk has a square plan and features a tapering column with a moulded cornice, resting on a moulded base and a plain plinth. The summit of the obelisk is missing. It commemorates the gift of the Kirby Misperton estate to the Blomberg family by the Crown. Charles Blomberg, who was a physician to Charles II, and his descendant, Fred Blomberg, who was reputedly the natural son of George III, served as the "whipping boy" and Chaplain to the Prince Regent.
