The Obelisk in Mayfield Park. The Obelisk or Fox's Memorial was erected in 1810 to the memory of the Whig politician, Charles James Fox (1749-1806). His friend William Chamberlayne built it on the eastern part of his Weston Grove Estate. In 1854 this area was sold to Robert Wright who built the Mayfield mansion there. From this the park gets its name.
