Summary
| Description | Killigrew Obelisk, Arwenack Street, opposite Arwenack Manor House, Falmouth. It is devoid of any inscription. Erected by Martin Lister (d.1745), of Staffordshire, who adopted the surname Killigrew in lieu of his patronymic,[1] having married in 1689 Anne Killigrew (d.1727), youngest daughter of Sir Peter Killigrew, 2nd Baronet (d.1705), of Arwenack. He died without progeny, being thus the last of the Killigrews. He wrote History of Killigrew Family (published in Journal of the Royal Institution of Cornwall, April 1871). "Local gossip has it that there are two glass bottles inside the monument, last seen when the obelisk was moved in the 1830s, containing something - perhaps a clue as to what Martin wanted you to think while you look at his monument" (www.bbc). See oil painting depicting topping-out ceremony in Falmouth Art Gallery[2] |
