Description
HERTFORD
TL3212NW OLD CROSS 817-1/16/147 (East side) 12/04/73 Drinking Fountain
GV II
Drinking fountain. 1890, reconstructed from fragments of the former Hertford Church of St Mary the Less which were found on the site during the construction of the Library in 1880. The church was built before 1210 and destroyed before 1552. The structure is clunch stone, consisting of a base, with a small pointed arch with crude roll mouldings above a drainage recess, projecting band with central stoup, and tablet with central tap, above which is a rebuilt C13 lancet with colonnettes with bell caps, and a roll moulded outer arch, and inner reveal with continuous dog tooth ornament, and chamfered jambs to the opening. A tablet set in the base of the lancet opening records the history of the structure which was erected by public subscription.
