On the summit of the Worcestershire Beacon is a toposcope identifying the hills to be seen on a clear day. It was designed by Malvern architect Arthur Troyte Griffith, a friend of Sir Edward Elgar and erected in 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee. The brass plate was stolen in 2000 and replaced by The Malvern Hills Conservators the same year. The original plate was recovered by police and returned to the Conservators in 2001.
