which has 4 oval bowls and a square superstructure in the
centre with a round-headed niche in each side containing
carved dolphins, a foliated frieze and large cresting carved
with the Clifton arms and motto "MORTEM AUT TRIUMPHUM".
The shelter is square, with sandstone pedestals at the corners
each carrying 3 wooden pillars carved with sunflowers, and a
wooden frieze inscribed on all 4 sides: "ELEANOR CECILY

TALBOT CLIFTON / WHO DIED AT HAMMAN RHEA ALGIERS APRIL 16th
1882 / T, IS WELL, T, IS SOMETHING, WE MAY STAND WHERE HE IN
