Another series of prospects was associated with Wychbury Hill to the north, towards which the old road to Halesowen climbed in a hollow way from between the church and the former site of the Hall. On the slope immediately overlooking the new Hall was a column, originally the gift of George Lyttelton's old employer, Frederick, Prince of Wales, which was moved to that position as a memorial following the prince's death in 1751. Beyond that was the Wychbury Obelisk, raised in 1764 to various members of the Lyttelton family. On the way there was the Temple of Theseus built for George Lyttelton‘s father by James Stuart in imitation of the ancient Temple of Hephaestus at Athens. Its purpose was to serve both as a landscape feature visible from the Hall and to command a most beautiful View of the Country round about. Along the course of the old road on its way there was the rectory, and near it Jacob's Well, the original water source for the Hall, and a quarry that produced the stone known as Hagley-rag. Above the quarry was the site of Thomson's Seat, at one time an octagonal building in a grove before it was destroyed by the fall of a tree.
