The Churton Memorial Fountain stands on the west side of Brownlow Street, Whitchurch, Shropshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
The fountain was built in 1882 by John Churton as a memorial to his parents and wife, and was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas. It was originally situated at the junctions of Brownlow Street, Green End, Talbot Street and Station Road. In the early 1930s it was moved to its present position further along Brownlow Street because it was interfering with traffic flow.[1][2]
