Description

This drinking fountain, built in 1897, is an open three-sided structure that features a bracketed gable and flat Gothic arches on each side. One of the gables displays a medallion of Queen Victoria. The fountain has a circular spirelet covered in shingles and is constructed from hard red brick with a splayed granite plinth. It includes a drinking fountain on one side and a horse trough on the roadside. This structure commemorates Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

Local climate

Drinking Fountain sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 99% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 30 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 65% of listed buildings. Of these, 13 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.
