At the northern entrance is a monument to Prince Albert (1819–1861, the husband of Queen Victoria), 48 feet high and designed by John Gibbs of Oxford and erected in 1865.

From 1860, the park together with the surrounding Victorian and Edwardian houses were laid out by Christ's Hospital of Abingdon.

West (1885–1957), as well as John Gibbs who designed the 1865 stone monument to Prince Albert in the park.
