Inscription description
inscriptions (on plaque to left of fountain): Malvhina Sculpture by Rose Garrard 1998 / This sculpture combines three themes proposed by local residents. / Its form reflects ancient Celtic standing stones with spiral / marking, medieval religious statuary and Victorian Pre-Raphaelite / images, suggesting three of the most significant periods in / Malvern's history. The Malvern spring water flows from a / bronze disc where three circles interlink symbolising the / sacred triple of the Celts, the Christian Holy Trinity and the / springs which combine here. The sculpture is named Malvhina / after a Celtic Princess which some historians / romantically connected with the naming of Malvern / itself. / Commissioned by Malvern Hills District Council / Sponsored by West Midlands Arts and Elmley Foundation.
