This drinking fountain, in Aberdeen granite, is dated 1888 and was the philanthropic gift of Lady Georgiana Needham, of Datchet House. The fountain was moved to its present position after it became in danger of damage from traffic. Datchet is a village on the north bank of the River Thames in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead in Berkshire, about 1¼ miles east of Windsor. There is evidence of continuous occupation since the end of the last ice age. The village developed because of the ferry service which connected it to the main London Road across the River Thames. Now a pleasant commuter village with Waterloo station only 54 minutes away.
