It is understood that the location of the fountain relates to the home of the Field family - who were connected with the movement to acquire the Extension.

Before its demolition the Pryors housed  Walter Field , whose relative Horace Field, the architect, lived at Chestnut Lodge (the western part of Squire's Mount)
