The Britannia Monument, Shap
The Britannia Monument, near the Shap Wells Hotel, Shap, Cumbria.
The monument was built to commemorate the accession of Queen Victoria to the throne on 20th June, 1837. It was erected in 1842 to a design by Mawson of Lowther, with sculptural work by Thomas Bland of Reagill. The octagonal shaft is surmounted by a life-size figure of Britannia holding the remains of metal trident in her right hand and a shield in her left.
