Horse trough with flanking walls opposite N drive to The Hendre

This is a horse trough located in a walled bay opposite the north drive to The Hendre, dated 1894. The trough is made of dressed sandstone and features a carved reredos, with back and side walls constructed from snecked squared rubble. The trough measures approximately 1 meter wide and 0.5 meters deep, featuring a shallow pedestal and convex moulding beneath a squared rim. It is positioned at the center of a rectangular bay that is about 4 meters wide and 0.5 meters deep, with enclosing walls that rise to approximately 1 meter high. The dressed flat coping on top of the walls is interrupted in the center by an intricately designed classical-style reredos, which includes a basket-arched panel inscribed with "PURE LIFE / PURE WATER" and decorated with incised foliation. The consoles at the base of the reredos are inscribed with the numbers "18" on the left and "94" on the right. Above the right-hand end of the trough, there is a copper spout set into the wall. Additionally, lower walls extend from each end of the structure, running parallel to the road for a short distance.
