Camphill Column, Memorial column in Alnwick, England

The Camphill Column stands as a stone structure with a Tuscan design, topped by a platform and ball finial atop two square steps.

The column, constructed in 1814, commemorates British military victories and carries inscriptions honoring Pitt, Wellington, Nelson, and Henry Collingwood Selby.

Each side of the column features stone tablets with inscriptions that document military achievements and significant events from the British Empire.

The memorial column remains accessible to visitors within the grounds of Alnwick Golf Club, maintaining its Grade II* listed building status since 1977.

The structure survived the 1975 demolition of Swansfield House, preserving its position as a testament to early 19th-century commemorative architecture.
