Cadw's description
Location
On N side of former St Asaph road now by-passed by A55; on corner with road to hospital.
History
On OS map of 1878, and probably contemporary with the nearby Marble Church, Vicarage and Village housing, circa 1857. Perhaps by John Gibson, architect of the church, vicarage and village housing. The fountain was fed by pipes from ponds behind Bodelwyddan Castle, but the supply was cut when the dual carriageway was built in the 1980s. Restored early C21.
Exterior
Fountain in grey stone similar to that of adjacent Marble Church. Bowl supported by column with dolphin heads on octagonal base. Set within octagonal stone basin with moulded copings.
Reason for designation
Listed for Group Value with the listed buildings including the Marble Church, Vicarage, School and listed buildings of the Village.
