Description
The drinking fountain and water trough, located opposite the entrance to the castle grounds in Egremont, was presented by Alexander Cook Esq. of Chicago to his native town in 1904, as indicated by the dated sans-serif inscription on the fountain. The name of the mason is given on the plinth as William Boddie, possibly from Clair Street, Aberdeen. The fountain is made of polished grey and pink granite and features a square plinth block set on three steps. The bowl has openings on the north, south, and east faces, supported by consoles that hold corner shafts. It has a corniced top with a ball finial atop a fluted dome. The water trough is situated on the left side of the fountain.
