c) NORTHERN ENCLOSURE: The northern enclosure covers 1.16 acres and was remodelled similarly to the southern enclosure in about 1925. Just beyond the northernmost end is a drinking fountain presented to the town by Frederick Chatfield for both human and animal use. Now listed, the obelisk bears the borough arms and the drinking pools are now used for floral displays. It was designed by Robert Keirle and inaugurated by the mayor, Richard Webb, in 1871; it originally stood in an isolated position in the middle of the road. {24,44,115,126}
