According to Lewis 'a water pump of superior construction' located in King Square 'worked by machinery and enclosed with an iron railing, was erected by the Earl of Kingston in 1825'. The pump once performed an important social function for the residents of King Square and Kingston College, although today it serves a more aesthetic purpose. Its location in the centre of the square opposite the church further enhances the symmetry of the square, and as such is an integral part of the King's Square complex.
