Drinking Fountain In Wall To South Of Summer House

The drinking fountain, located in the wall to the south of the Summer House on Lambrook Street, dates from the late 19th century and is designed in a Neo-Romanesque style. It is constructed from ashlar stone and features polished red marble columns. The fountain has a triangular gablet above a blind round-headed arch that consists of two orders, decorated with chevron patterns. The outer order is supported by two marble columns, which have ashlar capitals, annulets, and bases. The capitals are ornately carved with lively depictions of hunting animals and dragons. Inside the arch, there is a fluted marble basin that resembles a Romanesque piscina, and above it, a niche contains a brass outlet pipe. The apex of the gablet features carved fishscale detail, a hand pointing to the right, and the inscription 'To the Tor' in a Gothic script. This drinking fountain is part of a group that includes the Summer House and the properties at Nos 86 to 90 (even) High Street, and Nos 2 and 4 Bove Town.
