[[George Howard, 7th Earl of Carlisle]], was the owner of Castle Howard, and a prominent politician. He died in 1862, and a monument was commissioned for a location atop Bulmer Hill on the approach to the estate. It is in the form of a {{convert|110|ft|m}} column. It was designed by [[Frederick Pepys Cockerell]], with work commencing in August 1867, and being completed in 1869.
