On the hillside to the south of Stanmer House is the Frankland Monument, a Coade Stone slightly concave column that rests on three turtles, all now headless. The column itself is composed, from the base upwards, of a rope moulding, concave fluting, a swelling pattern of palm leaves and then roundels in a rectangular panel on each face. The base carries a Latin inscription.
