Description

The drinking fountain, located at the corner of Hollybush Hill and High Street, was built in 1872. It features an open, four-sided canopy with hipped gables, which is supported by timber posts resting on a Portland stone base with a splayed granite plinth. At the top, there is a circular shingled spire adorned with a weather vane.

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.
