More about this scene
Adjacent to the busy London Road and the western entrance to Nonsuch Park, this touching memorial and drinking fountain was erected after her death in December 1906 to commemorate the contribution made by the wife of Captain R C Farmer to the temperance cause. The Farmer family had been in residence at Nonsuch Park Palace for most of the previous century. Although the basin of the drinking fountain and the carved cherub's head are now almost at ground level owing to the elevation of the surrounding area, the inscription praising Mrs Farmer's 'unfailing kindness to all who wanted help or needed sympathy' is still legible. To the right, behind the railings and the stone gateposts, is Redgate Lodge, which was demolished in 1955.
