Hare & Hounds pub, Wigton - May 2017 (1)
Late 17th or early 18th Century pub, which is Grade II listed.
Although there is no record (that I can find) of the pub being closed during the years 1914-1918, it somehow escaped the clutches of the State Management Scheme - the inconsistencies of the scheme can at times be a source of immense frustration and puzzlement.

The Monument, Wigton
Wigton was originally a wool trading town, but now its major employer is Innovia films. In the market place is an elaborate 19th Century fountain erected in 1872 by George Moore of Whitehall in Mealsgate, in memory of his wife. It is built of granite, and features four fine bronze reliefs of the Acts of Mercy by the Pre-Raphaelite sculptor Thomas Woolner. On the north side (opposite the Kings Arms) is 'Visiting the Afflicted', the east illustrates 'Clothing the Naked', the south has 'Instructing the Ignorant', and the west side has 'Feeding the Hungry'. Above each bronze is a small granite carving of the face of Mrs Moore, surrounded by leaves.

George Moore Memorial Fountain, Wigton
A view looking southeast to the George Moore Memorial Fountain. This was erected in 1872 on the site of an earlier market cross by George Moore of Whitehall in memory of his wife Eliza. Her likeness appears in each of the four alto-relief bronzes (Acts of Mercy) by the pre-raphaelite sculptor, Thomas Woolner.
