Description
The Anglesey Column is a Grade II* listed Greek Doric column made of grey marble quarried at Moelfre. It features a railed platform that encloses a circular plinth, on which stands a brass statue of the Marquess of Anglesey in naval uniform. The foundation stone bears an inscription in Welsh and Latin, commemorating the military achievements of Henry William, Marquess of Anglesey, who led the British Cavalry in Spain during the challenging Campaign of 1807 and served as Second in Command of the allied armies at the significant battle of Waterloo on June 18, 1815. The column was designed by architect Thomas Harrison. Access to the platform at the top of the column is provided by a spiral staircase, which is illuminated by narrow lights.
