Central to the village of Lilleshall and dominating the skyline of the surrounding area is Lilleshall monument. This structure was erected by the tenants of the village in memory of their landlord George Leveson Gower, First Duke of Sutherland and completed in 1833. At that time most of the houses and farms in the village were tenanted and remained so until a major sale in 1917 when most properties were bought by their tenants.
