What is recorded here
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, a cobbled finish and a large moulded granite drainage channel. It is prominently sited within the centre of the Market Square.
This communal water pump has survived remarkably well. It adds a sense of the technological simplicity of the 19th century, thus enriching the townscape.
This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
