| The cast iron fountain is of late Victorian heritage |
THIEVES have stolen an ornate cast iron fountain from Grimsby cemetery.
The 19th century Coalbrookdale fountain, which features a lion's head on each side atop a decorative column, has been used by mourners for decades to fill the flower containers on their loved ones' graves.
Little is known about its history of the piece, but it is thought to have been commissioned as a memorial after construction of the chapels in 1888.
The fountain was due to be restored during the next phase of conservation works within the cemetery.
Anyone with information should contact the police
