Camphill Column, Memorial column in Alnwick, England
Camphill Column is a stone memorial standing in Alnwick with a Tuscan-style design and a ball finial at its top. The structure sits on two square stone steps, with inscriptions covering all four sides of the shaft.
Constructed in 1814, the column was built to commemorate British military victories of that era. It honors figures like Pitt, Wellington, Nelson, and Henry Collingwood Selby, key commanders of the period.
The inscriptions on each side honor specific military figures and their service to Britain. These carved tributes show how the era chose to remember its leaders through public monuments.
The memorial is located within the grounds of Alnwick Golf Club and remains accessible to visitors. It has been listed as a Grade II* building since 1977, ensuring its preservation and maintenance.
The column uniquely survived the 1975 demolition of the surrounding Swansfield House building. It remained standing while the entire structure around it was removed, making it a solitary survivor on the site.
