The Sophia Water
Fountain at
SK 376 445
GV II
Water fountain. 1864, funded by Sacheverell Sitwell. Sandstone.
Square pier, approximately 5 feet high, on stepped chamfered
base with infilled circular low basin to east side. Above,
the pier has pointed inset panels to all sides, each panel with
moulded hood with Dec style foliage finials and stops. Eastern
panel has a lion's head with water spout and inscription over
reading 'The Sophia 1864'. North and south panels have rounded
corbels to base, as for statues, and the west panel has a rampant
lion to top. Over each panel is a gabled roof cut out of the
stone and to the base of each gable is a foliage boss. This
and the two other water fountains provided the first piped water
supply to the village. Each fountain was named after one of
Sacheverell Sitwell's daughters.
