The Rebecca Fountain stands as a tall, slender obelisk of Bath stone, topped by a carved figure holding a pitcher. It was built in eighteen sixty-one to celebrate the marriage of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Princess Victoria, to Prince Frederick of Prussia. Local residents raised the money for the fountain as a loyal gesture to the crown. It served as a functional water supply for the city until the twentieth century, when the pipes were finally capped and the basin ran dry.
