GV II
Covered fountain. Probably early C19 in its present form.
Large semi-spherical bowl on moulded "saucer" with ashlar
plinth. Slate-roofed shelter is square on plan carried on 4
unfluted granite columns; each side has segmental granite
monolith arch and shallow granite-framed pediment with
recessed panel.
HISTORY: the original fountain is said to have been moved from
a place unknown first to the Old Market (on the site of the
new Post Office) built by Sir Peter Killigrew 1632, removed to
New Market House 1729 and to its present position in 1812. The
present structure appears to contain no elements earlier than
the C19.
