Description

This drinking fountain was built in 1860 by Samuel Sherwin of Liverpool. It is made of white Mansfield limestone ashlar, featuring pink sandstone polychrome work and a pink Aberdeen granite bowl. The fountain has a small gabled structure topped with an elaborate iron finial. The bowl protrudes and is supported by an engaged chamfered column, with a step moulded base. A tablet set in a pointed niche beneath an arched dripmould with foliated terminals reads, "The gift of Thomas Garfitt Esq. 1860."
