Description

The Edward VII Drinking Fountain, located approximately 20 meters southwest of Montpellier Rotunda in Cheltenham, is a statue and drinking fountain dedicated to King Edward VII, inscribed and dated 'ER 1914.

The fountain faces the Promenade and features a marble statue of the King in a Norfolk suit, assisting a poor girl. It has an oval granite base on a moulded capping of a square plinth. The fountain includes lion's head taps for drinking bowls on three sides and a wide horse trough with a dog trough below at the back.
