Site: Fountain from St Pauls (1 memorial)

N8, Middle Lane, Priory Park

When the fountain arrived this part of Priory Park was known as Hornsey Pleasure Grounds.

A nearby information board gives: "... originally placed in the churchyard of St Paul's Cathedral in 1880. The Corporation of the City of London presented the fountain to the Borough of Hornsey in celebration of the Mayoralty of Ernest Arthur Ebblewhite Esquire and it was unveiled in Priory Park in 1909. The fountain bears the Arms of the City of London and is made of 50 tons of Lamorna granite. It originally boasted a vertical jet of water from the base and four jets that spouted up into the upper basin, but in recent years it has acted as an impressive planter."
