Dated, 1860. Well and drinking fountain set within round-headed alcove flanked by swept, coped walls surmounted by pyramidal finials. Cast iron lamp fixture above arch; carved urn finial to apex. Coursed, pale freestone. Inscribed with initials of donor, Hugh Horatio Brown of Newhall.
A fine example of a mid 19th century well and drinking fountain, notable for its well-detailed carving with distinctive curved alcove flanked by swept, coped walls surmounted by finials. Prominently locatated beside the road, the structure adds considerably to the interest of the village streetscape. The structure was donated by the Browns of nearby Newhall House which is located nearby in Penicuik Parish (see separate listing).
