The fountain is listed as grade II. The original fountain was built by Sir Peter Killigrew 1632 at the Old Market, which was re-moved to New Market House 1729 and to its present position in 1812. This was for farm animals that would visit during market days. The town continues to have market days, except live farm animals are no longer brought to them, leaving the fountain derelict.
