Hoad Monument (officially called the Sir John Barrow Monument) is a 100-foot (30 m) tower at the top of the 436-foot (133 m) Hoad Hill, near Ulverston in Cumbria, England.[1][2] It commemorates Sir John Barrow (1764-1848), who was born in Ulverston.[3] It was built in 1850 at a cost of £1250, the cost being met mainly by public subscription.
Sir John Barrow was a founding member of the Royal Geographical Society. He travelled to China and South Africa as a diplomat and held the post of Second Secretary to the Admiralty from 1804 until 1845.
