wall of No.65 (No.65 not included)
GV II
Drinking fountain. c1875. Probably provided by the
Metropolitan Drinking Fountain & Cattle Trough Association.
Polished granite. Round-arched slab with semicircular animal
bowl at base with the inscription "The merciful man is
merciful to his beast". Above, a projecting semicircular basin
with fountain inscribed on the slab above "Jesus said
Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again but
whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall
never thirst". Head with an incised pattern and inscribed
around the arch "Ask and ye shall receive: Seek and ye shall
find". An uncommon survival of a type depicting the Victorian
association of providing free fresh water to the masses with
evangelical piety.
