The obelisk was built in 1758 by Lord Lyttelton, the owner of the nearby Hagley Hall. It is one of many follies which he built to ornament his park. These included a ruined castle, the Clent Hill four stones and Greek and Roman temples.
It has been adorned with graffiti following the unsolved post World War II mystery: Who put Bella in the Wych Elm? when the decomposed body of a woman was found in a nearby wood. #hagley #hill #Lyttelton #monument #obelisk #wychbury
