    At first I thought that this was a steeple that had lost its church. A might tall memorial, William Cargill must have been an important man. Thanks Diana for sharing this week and I hope to see more kiwi treasures in the future.

    Very much like a steeple that missed being placed up high. Is that a fountain basin at the base?

      Yes, though they are not in use. Drinking fountains were included in the original design.

    I love all the intricate sculpture on the memorial monument. It seems like I saw one similar to this in Oxford. It looks like you can go inside. I bet that would be interesting.
