An eighteenth-century fountain made for Richard Rigby. It has a large oval cement basin with moulded base, sides, and rim, and a central life size stone swan fountain. There is a brick wall to the north with a smaller, semi-elliptical, but similarly moulded horse trough beneath a central arch. The fountain was given to the village in 1844.
