Drinking fountain


There is a drinking fountain besides the B6343 road through Mitford. It was built in 1877 and it's round-headed stone arch encloses a carving of dragon's head impaled on sword,  inscribed J.P.O.M. (Colonel John Philip Osbaldeston-Mitford). It is the site of an earlier holy well, reputed to be the scene, in 1006 AD of miracles associated with a relic of St. Cuthbert's shroud.[1] The fountain is Grade II listed.
