Grey's Monument is a Grade I listed monument to Charles Grey. It was built in 1838 to commemorate Earl Grey's role in the passing of the Great Reform Act of 1832. The statue of Lord Grey is on a 40m-high column. It was designed by local architects John and Benjamin Green, and the sculptor was Edward Hodges Baily (who also created Nelson's statue in Trafalgar Square).
