Abstract:		 This case study describes a conservation project to the Grade-II listed Waterloo Memorial at Bispham Hall. The memorial was in poor condition with deformation caused by ferrous cramps. Grant aid was secured from War Memorials Trust, who offered to fund 75% of the repair work costs and associated professional fees; the remaining costs were funded by the Waterloo Monument Group. Without this funding it would not have been viable to carry out the level of conservation repairs required to secure the long-term future of the monument. The custodian was concerned because the monument appeared to be leaning over: the deformation was clearly visible in the top twothirds of the obelisk. Previous investigations had suggested that an iron rod was embedded within the centre of the obelisk, fixing the ball finial in place, but this was unconfirmed.
