Sutherland Monument, Grade II listed monument on Lilleshall Hill, England
The Sutherland Monument stands as a 21-meter stone obelisk with a square plinth and stepped base on the summit of Lilleshall Hill.
The monument was constructed in 1833 to honor George Leveson-Gower, First Duke of Sutherland, with funding from his appreciative tenants totaling £933.15s.
Two inscribed tablets adorn the structure, with the southern face featuring a quote from Shakespeare's Henry VIII regarding the Duke's involvement.
Visitors can reach the monument through marked walking paths on Lilleshall Hill, which provide access to panoramic views of the Shropshire landscape.
The monument originally displayed four decorative sculptures at its corners - two lions and two griffins - until they were damaged by a thunderstorm.
