Sutherland Monument, located at the top of Tittensor Hill, Trentham Gardens, Swynnerton, Stafford, Staffordshire, England, UK

---

In the southern area of the Trentham Estate stands the monument to the 1st Duke of Sutherland. This colossal statue, designed by Winks and sculptured by Chantrey, surmounts a plain column of stone on a tiered pedestal. The monument was raised in 1834 at the instigation of the second Duke, a year after the first Duke's death. A wide range of possible monuments was put forward, but Sir Francis Leggatt Chantrey, with whom Loch, the duke's chief agent, had been in touch, recommended Sir Charles Barry for the design of the monument.
