MDFCTA number | 0527 (tentative) |
Type and size | Trough 1a 9ft 6in (sic) granite |
Original location | Ealing. Ealing Old Church |
Date erected | December 1875 |
Comments | Near old Parish church. Cost defrayed by local subscription as a memorial to Miss Walpole. £50.0.0. The MDFCTA records describe this trough as 18ft but it is definitely only 9ft 6in. Although this trough lacks an MDFCTA inscription I am fairly confident it is an MDFCTA structure. The trough is very close to this fountain. |
