Sir Wilfrid Lawson Memorial and drinking trough

The Sir Wilfrid Lawson Memorial and drinking trough is a monument and drinking trough located in Aspatria's Market Place. It was erected in 1907 through public subscription and designed by sculptor L. Fritz Roselieb. The structure is made of calciferous sandstone with granite dressings, featuring cast bronze plaques and a figure. It stands on a stepped octagonal grey granite plinth beneath a square sandstone base with angle columns made of Shap granite. Each face of the monument has sculpted bronze drinking bowls. The sandstone shaft is adorned with bronze plaques depicting Peace and Temperance, as well as a bust of Sir Wilfrid Lawson, who lived from 1829 to 1906, and an inscription on the rear. At the top, there is a bronze figure of St George and the Dragon, all of which is signed and dated by the sculptor. A horse drinking trough is located at the front of the memorial.
