Obelisk, Farnborough Park

Uploader's Comments

The Obelisk at Farnborough Park stands at the end of a terrace walk. The date inscribed is 1751, though according to the guidebook a visitor to Farnborough described it in 1746. There is a second date of 1823 inscribed which represents the date it was rebuilt as a result of it collapsing. It is thought to have been designed by Sanderson Miller for William Holbech. It is Grade II listed.
