Description
The Memorial Water Trough is an animal drinking trough that was originally part of a war memorial dedicated to Captain Thomas Agar-Robartes. It was unveiled in 1922 and moved to its current location in 1998.
This trough is made of granite and is designed in the shape of a classical sarcophagus, resting on a chamfered plinth with canted corners. The body features incised scrollwork and bas relief carvings of lion heads, while the lip is adorned with a dentilled cornice. The trough is positioned on a raised surface made of late 20th-century granite setts. In front of the trough, there is a fixed bronze plaque that notes its connection to Captain the Hon. Agar-Robartes and mentions its relocation in 1998. The plaque also includes the text from the plaque on the memorial bench that was previously associated with it.
