Disraeli Monument, Victorian monument in High Wycombe, England
The Disraeli Monument is a tall ashlar pillar in High Wycombe featuring four Roman Ionic pilasters and an urn at its top. A profile portrait appears on the east side, and low stone walls surround the structure.
The monument was erected in 1883 through public subscription to commemorate Isaac D'Israeli, an influential British author and father of Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli. Public funding for the project reflected widespread respect for the family's cultural standing.
The monument displays inscriptions on raised panels that honor Isaac D'Israeli's achievements as an author who sparked public interest in literature through his anthologies. The dedication reflects how Victorian society valued and recognized contributions to the literary world.
The monument stands within walking distance of High Wycombe's town center and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should note this is an outdoor site accessible at any time of day and in all weather conditions.
Mary Anne Disraeli commissioned the monument as a gift to honor her father-in-law Isaac D'Israeli. Architect Edward Buckton Lamb designed specific architectural elements to celebrate his literary legacy.
