The Perseus & Andromeda Fountain, Witley Court & Gardens, 2016

Stone carving project of the Perseus and Andromeda Fountain at Witley Court and Gardens, in partnership with English Heritage.

The Perseus & Andromeda Fountain at Witley Court was constructed for Lord Ward, the first Earl of Dudley, to the designs of William Andrews Nesfield. The Portland stone statues represent the classical myth of the hero Perseus riding the winged horse Pegasus, rescuing the heroine Andromeda, who has been chained to a rock by the jealous sea-god Poseidon and battling a sea monster which is attempting to devour Andromeda. The base of the fountain is encircled by alternating grotesque fish and shells and is set in shaped render-lined brick pool.
