Description

The fountain south of Temple Newsam House is a Grade II listed structure built in 1894 by Andre Handyside and Co. from Britannia Ironworks in Derby, a company known for exhibiting fountains at the Great Exhibition in 1851. This fountain features a design from 1874 and is made of cast iron. It has an octagonal pedestal adorned with lions' heads in ovals, which supports a large but shallow bowl on an acanthus leaf stem. From this stem rise two entwined dolphins whose tails support a smaller bowl topped with two small cherubs. The entire fountain is situated in the center of a pond shaped like a Greek cross, with semicircular ends to its arms.
