Commemorates the gift of land by Sir John Hardy Thursby, Bart.

granite. Jacobean-Renaissance style. A wide circular bowl of
sandstone ashlar (lined with rendered brick) with a moulded
surround and octagonal piers at the cardinal points surmounted
by ball finials; and a central sandstone dome carried on 4

square stone plinth: the plinth has panelled sides and
panelled diagonal piers with a moulded cornice carried round,
