The obelisk is a slender spike of limestone blocks and is over 70 feet tall. It was completed in 1749 for Thomas Archer of Umberslade Hall. It is sited to form an eyecatcher in the view from the east front of the hall. It has received some attention in recent years: in the mid-1990s it was encased in ivy; an elder bush grew from its base http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/154121 Public access to the Nuthurst obelisk is from Pound House Lane by Obelisk Farm.
