At Pendleton, a drinking-fountain, the gift of Mr. John Purcell Fitzgerald, of Kersall Hall, has been opened for public use. The water issues from a stone pillar, placed at one end of the Pendleton churchyard. The pillar consists of two granite receptacles for surplus water. To this fountain is attached a large slate cistern, from which, when the main supply is stopped, drinkable water may be temporarily drawn. [Builder 3 August 1861 Page 540]
