What is the Monument of the month?

This page is designed for the general reader and is intended to feature monuments of all types and all ages: those to the famous and to the unknown, those by famous sculptors and those by unknown local craftsmen, the artistically splendid and the simple but beautiful or curious. So far mostly members of the Council have contributed but contributions are welcome from everybody – members or non-members of the Society.
