Foxton Fountain

From Praemal

Envying Middleborough’s famous glockenspiel, a previous bailiff of Foxton on Moss decided to build a spectacular fountain 30 years ago in a bid for regional fame for his town.

It did, but not in the way he foresaw: In a village on a river, a fountain is only decorative, and the bailiff’s project was seen as an impractical waste of money by Baron Abidah Midwood, the father of the present baron. The bailiff was dismissed and the fountain was never completed. Today, it is vaguely embarrassing to residents, whose simple homes face an elaborate gilded fountain that would fit more naturally into Tarsis than Foxton on Moss.
