Surrey Hills: The Samuel Wilberforce Monument

Uploader's Comments

This monument which stands in front of Leaser's Barn, marks the spot where Samuel Wilberforce (the third son of the anti-slavery campaigner) was killed by falling from his horse on 19 July, 1873. I arrived exactly 141 years and nine nmonths too late to witness this accident.
