Although the original inscription is wearing, the plaque below repeats the wording: ERECTED BY THE PARISHIONERS OF BONSALL TO THE MEMORY OF ROBERT CLAY ESQRE OF NETHER GREEN HOUSE FEBRUARY 1876 "Here are several handsome drinking fountains" (Kelly p.924). The fountain above is particularly interesting to the webmistress because of the dedication. Robert Clay is on her family tree; as well as bringing water into the village he was also involved with the restoration of the church in 1863.
