Obelisks
Chilstone have supplied many
pieces over the years for the
magnificent gardens at Hole
Park, Rolvenden, Kent. We
were delighted to supply this
personalised version of our Bowood
obelisk, erected in the parkland to
commemorate 100 years of one
family’s four generations there.
The obelisk stands in full view from
the front of the house and is an
important focal point in the park,
standing near a “keyhole” planted
in the millennium year.
Further details of Hole Park can be
