Description
This swill chute for a Worcesteshire manor farm was carved in grit stone with protruding quartz cabochons in the 1700s. For today's garden it is perfect as an isosceles water rill or as a large bird bath. That C18th mason's chisel marks are evident throughout and the accumulated wear, lichen and moss testify to more than two centuries of history.
