Summary

Description
English: Usually called the Penshaw Monument, the correct title of the structure is The Earl of Durham's Monument. Standing on Penshaw Hill, the monument was designed by John and Benjamin Green and built by Thomas Pratt of Sunderland in 1844. It is an adaptation of the Theseum, a Greek temple in Athens, with 18 Doric columns roughly 2 metres in diameter. The sandstone used in the building of the monument is from a local quarry. It was given to the National Trust in 1939 by the fifth Earl of Durham, and is a Grade I listed building.)
