A memorial fountain with a pointed gable and an inset Gothic arch. The rear of the inset is decorated with three roundels of white marble, possibly by Woolmer. The central roundel shows the arms of the Graves family, and the other two the carved heads of the patron and his daughter Mrs Bowen Graves. It has a lion head spout with a memorial inscription either side, below the inset arch. The grandest of three sources of piped water in the village, all constructed under the patronage of Sir J. M.
