| Comments | I'm not sure if this is an MDFCTA trough. Does anyone know the history and provenance of this trough? Sir John Stephen Barrington Simeon, 4th Baronet, MP, JP,DL, was born in 1850 and died in 1909. He was Member of Parliament for Southampton from 1895 to 1900, and lived at the family estate Swainston Manor. This drinking fountain, also in Newport, is dedicated to Sir Barrington Simeon. |
