The Grade II* Burrard Monument, also known as the Walhampton Monument, is located in the hamlet. It was erected in 1840 to the memory of Sir Harry Burrard-Neale, 2nd Baronet, a former Royal Navy Admiral and M.P. for Lymington from 1790 to 1832. The base of the tapered obelisk is designed to look like an Egyptian doorway.
