Description

The fountain basin is located in the formal garden to the west front of Woolley Hall and is likely from the same period as the hall, dating from around 1795 to 1807. It is constructed of ashlar and features a large circular shape with a raised roll-moulded coping that has an inner cyma-moulding. This structure is included for its group value with the hall.
