The Philip Twells Memorial Fountain is a memorial and drinking fountain located at the south-east corner of Lincoln's Inn Fields in London. It is Grade II listed by English Heritage.[1]
The fountain was built to commemorate Philip Twells, who was an Member of Parliament for the City of London as well as a barrister for the nearby Lincoln's Inn.[2] The fountain was erected in 1880 after Twells' death, commissioned by his wife, its design rendered in granite.[3]
