Cherhill Monument
Cherhill Monument is a 38-metre stone obelisk erected in 1845 by the 3rd Marquis of Lansdowne to commemorate his ancestor, Sir William Petty. The Monument stands on the highest point of the National Trust's Calstone and Cherhill Downs estate, within the earthworks of Oldbury Castle, an Iron Age hillfort. On the slope of the Down, below and to the east of the Monument, is the Cherhill White Horse, one of 8 surviving chalk horses in Wiltshire. (Cherhill, England)
