spring-fed drinking fountain in Greenwich Park
Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: This large stone – called locally The Motherstone – had a basin of water carved into it.
It was supplied by a connected pipe to the water table beneath. By the end of the 19th century any delph containers placed in the basin for passers-by were removed as the water was considered no longer safe for public consumption. The large stone is not local but was dragged there in prehistoric times, and the nearby spring is considered to have held healing powers in paganism. |
