Typical of the ornamental extravagance lavished on public spaces by the Victorians, the structure commemorates Henry Westenra, fourth Baron Rossmore who died as the result of a hunting accident at Windsor Castle, England, in 1874 at the age of 23. The monument was erected in 1876 on the site of the ancient stone cross, which was moved. The fountain no longer functioning.
