Fountain, Approximately 50 Metres East Of Blickling Hall

This is a garden fountain located approximately 50 meters east of Blickling Hall, dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century. It is made of limestone and features a hexagonal central shaft with consoles supporting a bowl on three sides. The fountain is adorned with three scroll-topped buttresses that have drapery folds and head-spouts. Between the buttresses are three gadrooned bowls, with a circular gadrooned top bowl that is likely a later addition. The entire structure is set within a circular pool. The fountain was originally acquired from Oxnead Hall around 1731 by the first Earl of Buckinghamshire and was relocated to its current position during the garden reorganization in 1872.
