The inscription reads "Near this spot on the 30th May 1910 Capt Charles Claudius de la Poer Beresford Royal Engineers was killed in a brave attempt to stop a runaway horse". (see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4080699 for detail). The fountain was thought to be erected about 1934 as it does nor appear on any O.S. maps before this date.
