Donkin Reserve Description

Northwest of Market Square is the Donkin Reserve, a small park which Sir Rufane Donkin caused to be laid out in 1820. The lighthouse (1861) is now occupied by a Military Museum with a display of uniforms, medals and weapons. Beside the Museum is a pyramid commemorating Sir Rufane Donkin's wife, after whom the city is named.
