A campaign group set up to save a North Powys landmark say the condition of the monument has deteriorated less severely than expected. However a statement from the Save Rodney s Pillar charity said that the repair work, which is estimated to cost up to £200,000, remained urgent. The campaign was set up in February 2020 after cracks appeared in the 54ft monument overlooking the village of Criggion in late 2019. The Grade II listed monument was erected at the top of Breidden Hill in 1782 to pay tribute to Admiral George Brydges Rodney, who led campaigns in the American War of Independence and in the Caribbean against the French.
