• A large stone monument built upon the Iron Age hill fort of Pen Dinas overlooking Cardigan Bay and the Welsh town of Aberystwyth. The monument takes the form of an eighteen metre high upended cannon. It is thought that the column was intended to carry at statue at the top, which was never installed. (1850s)^[1][2]

• Equestrian statue of the Duke of Wellington, Aldershot, originally at Hyde Park Corner, by Matthew Cotes Wyatt (1846).^[9] In 1838 a proposal to build a statue of Wellington resulted in the building of a giant statue of him on his horse Copenhagen, placed above the Wellington Arch at Constitution Hill in London directly outside Apsley House, his former London home. Completed in 1846, the enormous scale of the 40 ton, 30 feet (9 m) high monument resulted in its removal in 1883, and the following year it was transported to Aldershot where it still stands near the Royal Garrison Church.
