Drinking fountain
This Gothic, gableted and pinnacled well-head is at the corner of Jean Lawrie Court in St Boswells. It was erected by the eighth Lord Polwarth in the 1870s to celebrate the first piped water supply to the village. (Source: Pevsner Architectural Guide, The Buildings of Scotland - Borders).
The inscription on the well reads:
JESUS
SAID WHOSOEVER
DRINKETH OF THIS
WATER SHALL THIRST
AGAIN,
BUT WHOSOEVER DRINKETH
OF THE WATER THAT I SHALL
GIVE HIM
SHALL NEVER THIRST.
