Erection date: 1935
{The inscription is in the white stone band and runs from above the plaque, around the corner, across the top of the fountain, finishing at the next corner.}
The gift of the Pilgrim Trust in commemoration of the jubilee of King George the Fifth 1935.
Below the lion's head roundel are 5 nozzles. We were there on an extremely hot August day and would have welcomed the sound of water. Perhaps the fountain plays when the students are in occupation.
Site: George V Jubilee, John Carleton and some graffiti (3 memorials)
SW1, Little Dean's Yard, Westminster School
Our photo captures a bit of the heavily-graffitied Burlington Arch, on the left.
The fountain seems to have been erected/dedicated twice, once in 1935 for the royal jubilee and again in 1971 to celebrate the long headship of John Carleton. Perhaps in 1971 the pre-existing fountain was modified in some significant way.
Little Dean's Yard is at the centre of the School and is known there as simply "Yard".
