A lovely spot for a picnic, atop a wooded, grassy hill above the park, the obelisk at Hawkstone was built to commemorate Sir Rowland Hill, the first Protestant Lord Mayor of London. Hill bought Hawkstone and other land nearby in 1556 and his descendant, Sir Richard Hill, erected the obelisk in Rowland's honour in 1795.
