    The obelisk to the south of the village was erected in 1786 as a memorial to James Frampton. It gives him something in common with George III, whose statue on the Esplanade at Weymouth was designed by the same architect, James Hamilton.

    Good landmark as you go along the road. I do not think you can visit it,
    It is a landmark (folly - serves no useful purpose other than as a landmark) to James Frampton but I don't think you can be deported to Australia for looking at it :-)
