A walk in south Gloucestershire and you come across the Somerset Monument near the village of Hawkesbury Upton.
The 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 also the nephew of the Sixth Duke of Beaufort.
The tower is approximately 100 feet tall and I nearly pulled a muscle in my neck taking this photograph.
Best viewed with the magnify button above the pic.
