The French, The Blackpool Tower, in 1890-something.

Why? Because they thought we'd like one.

Orrrrr,

You could be talking about the Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square, which is given to us by Norway every year for helping them out in the war.

Tower of London, William the Conquerer, 1100ish, because we didn't like the french then either.

I've got a feeling it was Cleopatra's Needle but I don't know who or why which I'm hoping absolves me from setting a question if I'm right!

Some excellent guesses but none right as yet

First clue - The What

Its a large monument, rather old, it was in private ownership up to just after WW One
