History

Erected probably in the mid-late C19 when a piped public water supply was brought to the village.

Exterior

A lift pump of cast iron, consisting of a plain 6-in diameter pipe rising to a plain chamber at the top, provided with a rod handle curved into a loop at the end. The discharge pipe has a hook for buckets. No maker or registration plates. It has recently been painted.

Reasons for Listing

Included as a well preserved C19 water pump, one of a group of such pumps in the area, an interesting example of a public amenity, unusual in a rural area.
