A vertical fluted pipe rising to a Doric cap, and a spout with scrolled bucket hook, having a leaf like form at its junction with the main pipe. round bar iron handle hooked at its end. On the rising pipe, a lion rampant on an oval plate, reading in raised lettering Norton Hamar, the lower half obscured by the collar of an angled stay bar, added later. The pump has recently been painted.
