  Public Drinking Fountain, dated 1887, a Grade II Listed Building. Front panel bears the legend "To the Glory of God, built in Jubilee Year 1887. Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again, but whosoever drinketh of the water that I give shall..." [Text eroded, assumed to end with "never thirst" (John 4 v 13-14)]. Built of Hamstone, on a squarish base about 600mm wide, with stone bowl about 600mm high, then a tapered column about 2 metres high giving overall effect of a pinnacle; roll moulds to edges, then string course, corner gablets with praying (or drinking) figures, between which are two shields with initials W.C.L. and E.W. (for Miss Wood); short spirelet on top of which a stone state crown. The water issues from a lion's head, now fitted with tap to connect a hose. Erected at the instigation of Miss Wood; the ceremonial silver key with which she 'opened' it is preserved in the adjacent Church of Saint Martin of Tours.
