4/109 Drinking trough and surround about - 9m north west of the Manor Hotel
GV II
Drinking trough. Surround to trough late C19, erected by Sabine Baring-Gould. Trough undateable, probably earlier than surround. Granite and Raddon stone. The trough is set against a dressed stone wall in a chamfered arched granite niche with granite coping. The trough is filled from a grotesque lead gargoyle fixed to the rear wall of the niche. Included for group value with the Manor Hotel (q.v.) and the dovecot (q.v.) immediately behind the trough. The Reverend Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924) was both squire and parson at Lew Trenchard from 1881 until his death. He was a High Churchman, antiquarian and prolific author of fiction and theological works. He rebuilt Lew House (now the Manor Hotel) in the late C19 incorporating earlier features.
