The Nelson Monument, Portsdown Hill,
The monument was built in 1807 – 1808, funded by donations of two days pay from all who served at the Battle of Trafalgar and from Royal Navy prize money. The fund of £3000, was administered by Captain Thomas Freemantle of the Royal Navy and the architect was John Groves who based the design on a 4th century obelisk in the city of Axum in Ethiopia.
