A drinking fountain with elements of pink granite and grey granite. The style of the fountain is an eclectic mixture of Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque; its structure comprises a niche set within a limestone surround, with volutes supporting an ogee arch, which terminates in a fleur-de-lis crocket finial. The niche is framed by colonnettes of pink granite, with grey granite bases and limestone stiff-leaf capitals (one of these is damaged), from which rises a trefoil arch within a round-headed arch, with foliate carving to the cusps. The projecting basin is of pink granite.
