Description
Freestanding water pump, erected c.1880. The cast-iron pump has a cow tail handle and is set on a slightly raised platform; this has granite kerbs and octagonal granite pillars with wrought-iron rails. The centre of the platform has been renewed in concrete with chevron drainage channels and a cast-iron drain. It is prominently sited at the junction of a road.
Appraisal
This communal water pump is well preserved. It adds to the 19th-century appearance of the village and enriches the townscape.
