Grade 2* Listed Building. The Somerset Monument was built by Lewis Vulliamy in 1846 in memory of Robert Edward Henry Somerset. He was a General at the Battle of Waterloo of 1815, and died in 1842. He was a nephew of the Sixth Duke of Beaufort. The tower is approximately 100 feet high and constructed of limestone with ashlar dressings and quoins. The tower tapers and has a pedimented entrance and bold heraldry. At the top of the tower is a balcony; and there is elaborate strapwork stone cresting round the base of the pyramidal roof. Arrowslit window openings on rear elevation to illuminate internal spiral stairway. #monument
