Fir Tree War Memorial Drinking Fountain

The Fir Tree War Memorial Drinking Fountain is a stone memorial approximately 2.5 meters tall, located on the green in Fir Tree. It is designed as a drinking fountain, featuring an elaborate pinnacled urn on a square pedestal at the top. Each face of the pedestal has shallow hoods from which drinking water once flowed, with small basins projecting below each hood, supported by decorated corbels. The pedestal sits on a square plinth, which is raised on a two-stepped stone base. The edges of the plinth are chamfered with stops at the top of each curve, creating blind panels on each side.

The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "ERECTED TO/ THE MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF/ THE VILLAGE/ OF FIR TREE/ WHO MADE/ THE SUPREME/ SACRIFICE IN/ WAR/ 'THEY LIVE'." The names of those who served in the First World War are listed on either side. The dedication for the Second World War is on the rear face, reading: "1939 – 1945/ (3 NAMES)/ THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR/ EVERMORE."
