Smelt Memorial
Memorial
to Cornelius Smelt,
Lieutentant Governor, 1795-1832 and friend of Manx interests against
the Athols. Commonly referred to as 'the candlestick'. Designed by
John Welch - intended
to act as a base for an urn though Sir Wm Hillary wanted a statue (by
Mr Welch senior) but insufficient funds were available.
