Mount Edgcumbe House

Fountain formed from re-used materials, including 2 bronze dolphins set on a granite
pier, sandstone rubble walls surmounted by a small sarcophagus. Probably
constructed early C20.
The rubble wall encloses the fountain to the rear, and has a round-headed niche; in
front, the dolphins are set on a granite pier, which is a re-used window mullion.
The stone sarcophagus has a segmental pediment with acroterial ornaments, central

taps in the bath which was built in the late C18 at the rear of the English Garden
House (q.v.).
