Summary

Description
English: Racton Monument, built in 1772 by the then Lord Halifax for use as a summerhouse on his Stansted estate. Rumours aboundt that Halifax used the building to host parties, watch his returning ships come into the Solent and dock at nearby Emsworth, and that he even used it as a private whorehouse (there is evidence it had this purpose at some point in the 1800s). Now in ruins, the monument is the location of cult rituals, and rumours of hauntings prevail. A number of suicides in recent years have also happened within the ruin.
