The memorial was erected by the Charitable Society of Natives, which was a group founded to help the survivors of the Great Plague of 1666. The memorial dates from 1751 but was erected here, at the junction of Upper High Street and Sussex Street, in 1821 to replace an earlier monument. It is a Grade II* Listed Structure.
