sited in a recess on the east side. Fountain consists of an
octagonal granite bowl on a limetone stem, trefoil on plan,
with 3 trefoil-headed arches. The foot of the stem is also
trefoil on plan and forms a bowl for dogs to drink from.

head. Round section railings have spear finials and stout
cylindrical standards (some replaced) with acorn finials.
