Monument on the Shugborough Estate

The Ruin is on the banks of the River Sow. The Monument was built c.1750 using stone from sections of Shugborough Hall pulled down during alterations. Originally the ruin was more extensive and included a Gothic pigeon house. On the opposite bank of the river was a Classical Colonnade, which was washed away in the floods of the eighteenth century. A Druid sits on the Monument. A duplicate of the Druid can be found in Croome Park, Worcestershire.
