History and Regimental Dedication

The Original Site

The hill traditionally held older landmarks, starting with a 1760 wooden tower built for George III’s accension, followed by subsequent limestone and grits tone viewing structures.

1923 Construction: It was built between 1922 and 1923. The current memorial tower was designed by Lieutenant Colonel Brewill and was completed by his son Captain L.C.Brewill. It was built by local Stonemason J.C. Payne.

Masonry :The tower is constructed predominantly using high density local Derbyshire gritstone and sandstone. The gritstone was carefully chosen for its extreme weather resistance against the harsh ridge line elements.

Recycled Material: In a feat of early sustainable engineering, stones from the previous 1851 tower (which had been dismantled due to land instability from the nearby) were carefully catalogued, numbered, and reused in the 1923 construction

The beacon. In 1934, a powerful revolving searchlight/beacon was installed at the summit.When lit during special regimental and remembrance events, its beam can be seen flashing from up to 38- 40 miles away.

Latern Gallery: The top features an open arcaded lantern supported by fluted Doric columns, a ciarcaded stone frieze , and a cornice beneath the Ashley dome capped with a flaming filial.

Viewing Platform: located beneath the dome , providing Panasonic views across Derbyshire and beyond

Construction costs: The total construction costs were reported to be around L 2382 with funds raised through public subscription and contributions from the Clay Cross Company, which donated stonework.from an earlier tower,assisted with materials and contributed L200 toward the project.

• Sherwood Forresters: The tower was purposely erected to honor the 11,409 members of the Sherwood Foresters Regiment who died during World WarI
