Grey's Monument is a prominent landmark in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. It was erected in 1838 to honor Charles Grey, the 2nd Earl Grey, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1830 to 1834. The monument commemorates his role in passing the Great Reform Act of 1832, which significantly reformed the British electoral system. The structure features a 135-foot-high column topped with a statue of Earl Grey.
