Keppel's Column

Keppel's Column is a 115-foot (35 m)[1][2][3] tower Grade II* listed building between Wentworth and Kimberworth in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England.

Keppel's Column is one of several follies in and around Wentworth Woodhouse park; the others include Hoober Stand and Needle's Eye.

The column was built in the late-18th century to commemorate the acquittal of the court-martialled Admiral Augustus Keppel after the Battle of Ushant.

It was initially intended to be a landscape feature composed of pedestal surmounted by an obelisk, though at some stage the design was changed to a tall column.

The column, which has an internal spiral staircase, is located on a prominent hill on the southern extent of the Wentworth Estates.
