Adam Sedgwick Fountain, Dent
Adam Sedgwick Fountain, Dent in the Yorkshire Dales, Cumbria.
This block of granite enclosing a fountain was once Dent’s only drinking water supply. It is a fitting memorial to Adam Sedgwick, the famous son of the local vicar. Adam, best known as a pioneer of geology, was also a great mathematician and a canon in Norwich cathedral. Charles Darwin studied under Sedgwick at Cambridge University before embarking on a scientific expedition aboard HMS Beagle in 1831. A Geological Trail in neighbouring Garsdale was created in 1985 to mark the bicentenary of Sedgwick’s birth..
