Naval Pillar to memorialize British naval victories
A proposal to erect a National Naval Pillar on Portsdown Hill near Portsmouth or another site. It would be funded by voluntary subscriptions with an estimated cost around 5900 pounds. The plan, overseen by a royal patronage, lists numerous donors and contemplates placement near London if a central site is chosen.
