The Countess Pillar is a 17th-century monument near Brougham, Cumbria, England, between Penrith and Appleby.

The square top of the pillar is brightly painted and carries sundials on its sides.

[2][3] Anne Clifford, countess of Pembroke, Dorset and Montgomery (1590–1676), spent much of her life in a long and complex legal battle to obtain the rights of her inheritance.

[4] The inscription on the pillar describes Anne as "Sole Heire" of her father, George Earl of Cumberland.

[6][7] Felicia Hemans's poem "The Memorial Pillar", on the circumstances surrounding the erection of this monument, forms a part of her Records of Woman.
