These were erected in memory of Captain W H Trow who died in the Boer War in 1900. He was in the Shropshire Light Infantry. According to the Public Monument and Sculpture Association's records, "The drinking fountain and horse trough that make up this commemorative monument are two separate pieces. The trough, now planted with flowers, stands next to the road. The drinking fountain consists of a circular granite fountain head, with the inscription and an inscribed pattern, and a small round bowl for the drinking fountain. The fountain head is surmounted with a sandstone dome". The Society say the fountain is not working as the tap is missing.
