This memorial on the north side of the lake commemorates the fact that Lord Ancaster allowed the construction of the dam and the use of the lake as a water supply.

The construction of such a huge structure as this dam was hard and dangerous work at the time, without the technical resources available today. So it's nice that this monument keeps the memory of the construction workers alive.
