Description

The fountain head, dating from the 18th century, is located approximately 50 yards west of Patshull Hall. It is made of stone and has a hexagonal shape, measuring about 3 feet wide and originally around 5 feet high. The fountain features a panelled plinth with carved panels, broken piers, and a gadrooned capping on the dome. At the time of the last survey, the dome was found lying upside down about 5 yards to the northwest. This fountain was moved to Patshull from Upper Pepperhill in the late 19th or early 20th century by Lord Dartmouth.
