The Watts Cemetery, Compton: well or water-butt
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 24 Jul 2014
Water-butt at the north end of the cemetery, near the road. Designed (I think it is safe to assume) by Mary Watts - and similar in style to the terracotta work decorating the chapel. Celtic and Art Nouveau influences are evident. The text round the rim is adapted from the second chapter of Genesis: The Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden And a river went out of Eden to water the garden
