A public drinking fountain erected as a memorial to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee. The work features a two-step plinth with a recessed Norman style arched alcove, matching doorways at the adjacent church of St Thomas (qv), with three quarter columns and dog tooth decoration. Above the drinking basin there is a relief royal insignia 'VR' and crown. The basin is supported on colonnettes, and below it is a brass lettered inscription. It was restored in 1977 by the Monmouth Rotary Club to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Elizabeth II.
