Coombe Hill Monument

The monument was erected in 1904, by public subscription, in memory of 148 men from Buckinghamshire who died
during the Second Boer War. The monument was almost totally destroyed by lightning in 1938 and was rebuilt in the same year. It was again badly damaged by a lightning strike in the early 1990s and spent several months in repair. It is now equipped with lightning conductors to prevent this from happening again.
