The Wellington boot, also known as a welly, gumboot, or rain boot, is a waterproof rubber boot that gained popularity thanks to Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Originally adapted from Hessian boots, Wellington boots became a staple for the British aristocracy and middle class in the 19th century. The term "Wellington boot" originates from the Duke of Wellington, who instructed his shoemaker to modify the Hessian boot. During World War I and World War II, the demand for Wellington boots increased due to the need for suitable footwear in flooded and muddy conditions. Post-war, the lower cost and waterproof nature of rubber Wellington boots made them the preferred protective footwear in various industries. Steel-toe Wellingtons became indispensable in meeting occupational health and safety legislation. The Monopolies and Restrictive Practices Commission also addressed concerns about unfair pricing of rubber footwear, including Wellingtons. Today, Wellington boots are worn for a range of outdoor pursuits and are an essential item in many people's wardrobes.

The Wellington Monument is a 175-foot-high (53 m) triangular obelisk located on a point of the Blackdown Hills, 3 km (1.9 miles) south of Wellington in the English county of Somerset. It is a grade II* listed building and is the tallest three-sided obelisk in the world. The monument was designed to commemorate the Duke of Wellington's victory at the Battle of Waterloo. Construction of the original design commenced in 1817; a revised and cheaper design was eventually used, though, and building was completed in 1854. It is now owned by the National Trust, which closed the monument to the public in 2007, owing to safety concerns; surveys showed that extensive renovation work was needed. Repairs were completed, leaving the monument "now possibly in better condition than when it was first completed" and the monument reopened in August 2021. The monument was proposed in 1815 by William Sanford of Nynehead Court, and he started a public subscription to pay for it. Within months £1450 had been raised and a design competition was held. The winning entry envisaged a 95 feet (29 m) pillar with three cottages at the base to house old soldiers as caretakers. It was designed by Thomas Lee and the foundation stone was laid by Lord Somerville in 1817. The monument's design was inspired by an Egyptian obelisk, but in the shape of the type of bayonet used by
