The RSPCA Fountain is a monument on Richmond Hill in London dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals. It was designed by Thomas Edward Collcutt and completed in 1901.[1]
The monument is Grade II listed,[2] being designed in 1891 as a memorial to the work of a local branch of the RSPCA. Originally it served as a drinking fountain for local working animals as well as having a trough for dogs to drink from. Due to this function it was originally known as "cattle fountain" as reflected in its designation.[3] In 2020, elements of the fountain were removed and in 2024, the monument sustained damage after a car crashed into it.[4]
