2023: "A 230-year-old monument will be completely rebuilt after its condition was found to be too poor for repairs.


Natural Resources Wales (NRW) started work earlier this year to repair Rodney's Pillar, which overlooks the village of Criggion, Powys.


Cracks first appeared in the 54ft (16.5m) structure in 2019.


NRW has now decided to dismantle and rebuild the landmark, despite concerns that some "may be unhappy" about the plans.


The monument was erected in 1782 as a tribute to Admiral George Brydges Rodney."
