Christ Church Gardens Drinking Fountain

The Christ Church Gardens Drinking Fountain is a drinking fountain built in 1900. It was erected by the Metropolitan Public Gardens Association at the expense of philanthropist John Passmore Edwards, who also funded three other drinking fountains in various locations in London. The fountain features a chamfered square stone base on a plinth, with a sculptured bowl on one side and a metal bowl on the other. At the center, there is a chamfered square stone feature topped with a pyramidal roof that has a copper inscription. Four bracketed wooden corner posts support a conical tiled roof adorned with an elaborate copper finial. The entire structure is set on an octagonal step. The other drinking fountains provided by Passmore Edwards are located at Hoxton Square, Duncan Terrace in Islington, and Leyton Square in Camberwell, each with a distinct design.
