Pool And Fountain Before South Front Of Orangery

The pool and fountain located before the south front of the Orangery at Tatton Park was created around 1860. It is made of sandstone and features a circular pool with a central pedestal that supports two bowls, creating a cascading effect. The rim of the pool is rounded and intricately carved with a large petal motif. The base of the pedestal is cross-shaped with concave angles and is adorned with leaf scrolls. A bowed column, decorated with leaf motifs at the base and a spiral-fluted body, supports the first bowl, which has a band of gadrooned decoration on its body and large petal decoration on its lip. A shorter column rises to the second bowl, which is similar in design to the first but shallower.
