There is a stone alcove with a seat part way up the slope of Station Road. The words come from Isaiah 55:1. This feature may have been a drinks fountain originally.

Above the stone seat is a stone plaque with the words.
"Built by subscription.
1882
Come all ye who thirst"
which is a version of Isaiah 55:1, to fit on the stone.

New International Version is closest with
"Come, all you who are thirsty, ...."

English Standard Version would be
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price."
