Description: | Grey granite horse trough with a long deep trough and a shallow one on the ground underneath it. Has a spout still at the north end. Has a metal plate covering where taps were. Additional Information: Commemorates the Coronation of King Edward VII (1841-1910) on 9 August 1902. He was the eldest son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and reigned 1901-10. He married Princess Alexandra of Denmark in 1863 and they had six children. As Prince of Wales he was involved in several scandals, and the Queen kept him away from affairs of state because she did not consider him serious enough to be involved. He did, however, make successful tours abroad including, in 1860, the first visit to Canada and the USA by a British Prince, and a tour of India. He also contributed to agreements with France and Russia when he was king. He came to the throne at the age of 60. | Subjects: | Drinking Trough | Source: | Vads | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6980... | Go to resource |
