What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c.1870, having banded cylindrical shaft set into concrete, fluted neck, fluted spout with moulded mouth and with bucket grip, fluted domed cap with pointed finial, and cow's tail pumping handle. Set within rendered walled enclosure at roadside opposite church.
This water pump recalls the era before piped domestic water supply. It has good cast-iron detailing and its location, opposite the church, enhances its socially important function.
