Description

The fountain, built in 1897, is made of ashlar stone. It features a trough designed as a stepped Gothic wall with roll moulded copings. At the center, there is a pointed arch with a hollow moulded head and fleurons, above which is a lion head spigot. An inscription panel commemorates the Jubilee year of 1897, flanked by cross-shaped arrow loops in low relief. The taller central section displays two angled shields that bear the dates 1837 and 1897.

Local climate

Fountain sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 60% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
