History

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

Exterior

Cast iron lift pump, with a 4-in diameter pipe ascending to a widened and fluted top chamber, to which is attached a long curved handle with an acorn terminal. The discharge pipe, at the head of the ascending pipe, has a scroll-shaped bucket hook. On the side of the pipe, the manufacturer's badge surmounted by a lion. The pump is steadied by two stay bars and a collar. Recently painted.

Reasons for Listing

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