Rhodes Memorial and the cottage where a tea garden is housed today, were built between 1910 and 1912 by Sir Herbert Baker (designer and architect) and are densely enclosed by Stone Pine trees. Baker built the Memorial after Rhodes’ death, modelling it after the Greek Temple at Segesta. The Memorial marked Rhodes’ favourable spot where he would sit for hours. He declared the view to be unsurpassed anywhere in the world. There was a strong bond as well between Rudyard Kipling and Rhodes - Kipling composed the epitaph on the Memorial.
