Description

This is a drinking fountain designed in a tapered pedestal style. It features petalled capitals on the pilasters that are set across chamfered corners. The finial, taps, and cups are missing. Below, there is a polished granite circular bowl that sits on a drum pier and an octagonal base, which includes an animal drinking trough.

Drinking Fountain sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,210 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 90% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 67% of listed buildings. Of these, 19 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
