William Paisley
(1895 - Burwood)

The monument commemorates former Mayor William Paisley who was shot by Council Clerk William Redfearn in 1894. The monument is the base of the fountain.

In 1894, Burwood’s newly elected mayor William Paisley, took drastic action to combat a financial crisis during a state-wide economic downturn. His decision to reduce expenditure enraged Council clerk, William Redfearn, who took his £25 wage cut as a personal slight. Armed with three revolvers, Redfearn confronted Paisley in the Council Chambers and fired several shots at Paisley, before turning the weapon on himself.

Although seriously wounded, Paisley managed to flee the building and take refuge in the nearby house of fellow alderman, William Archer. He died the following day. To honour their departed mayor, local residents contributed to the acquisition of a fountain in Paisley’s memory.
