Description:Mr E. Williams with the capping stone from the Forton Monument.
The Forton Monument is located near to the Newport to Eccleshall Road, in a field known as Windmill Piece. It was said to have been built in 1780 by Charles Baldwyn, and is simply a folly or decorative feature.
The monument incorporates the base of a former windmill and was originally capped by a stone ball.
During the late 20th century the monument fell into a state of disrepair.
