The Imperial Fountain

According to tradition, this marble fountain was looted from Italy by the French in 1800

It was captured by the English while on its way to France and later sold to a Cheltenham solicitor Thomas Henney

In 1826 Henney installed the fountain in a pavilion near the imperial spa, now the site of the Queen's Hotel

In 1834 it was moved to the Montpellier Gardens. It was repaired in 1902 and put on display in the Town Hall until 1926, when it was moved to the public library

It has now been restored and is on loan from Cheltenham Art Gallery & Museums
