This is at th southern end of Henham park. According to Michael Burgess' book, this was once a spring. This edifice housed brass cups and the fountain, raised by the first Countess of Stradbroke. Agnes Strickland dedicated a poem 'The Lady's Fountain' to this in 1833. No trace of the spring is to be seen today
