A three-sided stone fountain in municipal Renaissance style with a dedication plaque in the south face. There are relief portraits of Gladstone and his wife in roundels, in the west and east faces respectively. It has swagged surrounds, a classical flaming urn finial and a base with moulded plinth and scrolled corners. Above these are a sculpted, armed putto sitting astride a dolphin, and at the other corners, griffins bearing the arms of the Glynnes and the Gladstones. There is also acanthus decoration to lower sections with central lozenges containing lions’ heads. The fountain is now disused. It was erected by the people of Hawarden to commemorate the golden wedding of W. E. Gladstone and his wife in 1889. It was unveiled on 29th December 1890, the former's 81st birthday, and was designed and sculpted by Edward Griffith of Chester after a public competition.
