Geocache Description:

The cache is a something small containing a log book only.

This cache is located at a statue and fountain near the north-east

corner of Regent's Park. The statue is a copy of Joseph Durham's

(1814-1877) At the Spring/Early Morn (1867), which is at

Blackburn Town Hall. It was possibly mentioned in Virginia Woolf's

Mrs. Dalloway - "[Peter Walsh] remembered Regent’s

Park; the long straight walk; the little house where one bought

air-balls to the left; an absurd statue with an inscription

somewhere or other".

The inscription on the statue reads:

SAINT PANCRAS

MIDDLESEX

This fountain and works connected therewith

were presented to the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain

Association on the 3rd day of August 1878 by

MATILDA

wife of RICHARD KENT. ESQ.

junior churchwarden 1878.

The figure now cast in bronze

was designed by Joseph Durham. A.R.A.
