Dufton Fountain, Cumbria - Fountains on Waymarking.com

Long Description:
The London Lead Company worked the many mines in the area. On the fountain is a Latin inscription which translated.

"There is a clear pool, whose waters gleam like silver. It is not tainted by shepherds, or by their she-goats grazing on the mountain. Nor is it muddied by cattle, or by birds or wild animals, or by a branch fallen from a tree"

The London Lead Company also built housing and wells for drinking water around the village. The London Lead Company were bought by Quakers early in its life, explaining the benefaction towards the workers. Wikipedia (visit link)

On day of my visit, the water was not running but there was water in bowl.
