What is recorded here

Saint Columb's Well in Townparks has a little house, a doorway and steps down to the water; the old pump stands outside. The pump must be raging: ‘I've been doing the same job since about 1890, and yer man gets a house.’
Freestanding single-bay single-storey gable-fronted rubble stone building, c.1985, over holy well with square-headed door opening approached by flight of steps. Freestanding cast-iron water pump, c.1890.
