Abstract:
In the year that the house was completed the grounds were to be adorned with sculpture, a summer house and an elaborate fountain. The fountain was designed and made by James Pulham (c. 1820-1898). This fountain comprised a large circular basin, or rather a quatrefoil shape, the square corners of the basin rim supporting four cherubs or tritons blowing shell trumpets. In the centre of the basin was a pedestal supporting two bowls, the lower larger than the upper, and the whole surmounted by a female figure with one arm raised and bent above her down-turned head, a copy, evidently, of Hebe by Antonio Canova. The fountain has since lost the figure and the tritons, (although parts of their heads are kept in store at the Tunbridge Wells museum) and is in a poor state of repair.
