A fountain where only the basin remains of the original design by A. S. Goodridge. It has a square plan with segmental bays to each facet, almost forming a circle. The outer bowl has rounded coping and a moulded plinth with small colonnettes carved into angles. At the centre is a pedestal with a shallow, straight-sided bowl with chutes protruding toward angles below the cylindrical shaft to a similar smaller bowl and a twentieth century lead ball finial that replaces the former gadrooned urn. The work was reconstructed in 1977.
