Monument to the Duke of Bedford, Hafod

The monument to the Duke of Bedford at Hafod is a carved sandstone ashlar obelisk standing on a plain square plinth. The lower third of the monument is plain and features a largely illegible marble tablet facing north. The inscription on the tablet reads: "To the memory of the most noble Francis, Duke of Bedford, this monumental column is inscribed by Thomas Johnes as a testimony of the sincerity with which he, in common with every friend to the improvement of the country laments the loss of the most judicious and munificent promoter of the national agriculture." Above the tablet is a carved laurel wreath. The upper two-thirds of the obelisk are fluted and adorned with a Greek key-fret along the flat top. At the very top, there is a tall urn set on a base with corner acroteriae.
