This series of six caches is linked to the theme of the changing landscapes of Shugborough Estate and the impact people have had on it. From one man's designed paradise to an estate encroached upon by transport links to a place of wildlife, conservation and NT scones, the estate has been changed and developed a great deal throughout the past 300 years.
This discreet monument is a close copy of the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens, the design of which was brought back by James ‘Athenian’ Stuart, built in the late 1760s. Originally it would have featured a large cup upheld by three dolphins on top, also designed by Stuart, however this has since been lost.
