Cavendish memorial fountain, Gothic Revival memorial fountain in Bolton Abbey, England
The Cavendish Memorial Fountain rises 40 feet tall with six buttresses arranged in a hexagonal plan, built from local stone ashlar blocks.
The fountain was erected in 1886 to commemorate Lord Frederick Cavendish following his murder in Phoenix Park by Irish National Invincibles in 1882.
The memorial includes gargoyles on each buttress and displays coats of arms of the Cavendish family along with Lyttleton, Boyle, Clifford, and Howard lineages.
The fountain stands north of Bolton Abbey Priory near Hartington Seat, at coordinates 53.9863144 latitude and -1.8870981 longitude.
Northern West Riding of Yorkshire electors raised over £2,000 for this memorial, initially planning a tall tower before settling on the current fountain design.
