Appraisal
Located in the centre of the village green, this water pump acts as a focal point for the historic fabric of the village. Water pumps played an important social and functional role in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries when a communal water supply was utilised. Now disused, the pump exhibits artistic quality through its detailing and decorative design.
