From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paternoster Square Column, Paternoster Square, London.
Designed by architects Whitfield Partners, the 23-metre column is the tallest free-standing monument to be built in London in the last hundred years. The new column forms a central feature of the pedestrianised Paternoster Square office and retail development.
At the top of the column there is an intricately carved corinthian capital.The capital started life as a 50 tonne block of Portland stone. Trimmed down to 25 tonnes during the rough cut, the finished capital weighs 10 tonnes.
The capital sits atop the shaft of the column which comprises five pieces of Portland each weighing six tonnes. This in turn sits on a base stone of about four tonnes. The whole column is mounted on a limestone and granite water feature with eight cascades.
