This drinking fountain marks the sixtieth year of her reign in 1897 and was provided by Francis F. and Alice Tuckett. The Tucketts were a prominent family in Frenchay in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and were staunch Quakers. Francis Tuckett (1803-68) was a landowner and an expert botanist; he imported and raised many of the trees specimens in the Frenchay and Downend area. His son, Francis F., followed in his footsteps and also made a name for himself as a mountaineer.
