John Wedgwood Monument, Bignall Hill

Highlight • Historical Site

This large stone monument on the summit is dedicated to John Wedgwood (1760–1839), a former local employer and coal mine owner.

(NOT Josiah Wedgwood)

Wedgwood's monument was initially an obelisk erected in 1850.

Following storm damage in 1976 it was reduced to a quarter of its original size, although the base is still substantial.

The monument is a Grade II listed building.

The monument is today reachable by footpaths, and is the highest point in the area.

It affords sweeping 360-degree views: south to Cannock Chase and the city of Stoke-on-Trent; north across the Cheshire Plains to Jodrell Bank radio telescope; east to Mow Cop Castleand the Peak District; and west to the mountains of North Wales and Snowdonia.
