What is recorded here

Cast-iron water pump, erected c.1870, with lion's head surrounding spout. Fluted base and cap, with finial and side handle.
This cast-iron water pump makes a interesting contribution to the streetscape. Artistic detail is employed to enliven this functional object. The deeply fluted casting provides artistic detail and is further enlivened by the lion's head mask.

Catholic Church of Saint John the BaptistPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 206 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist has a parochial house that’s been arguing with the rain for decades. The octagonal piers are lovely, but the roof is losing. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close your eyes and imagine rain.

Church of Saint John the Baptist (Nobber)Church/chapel · 209 yd

Explorer Tom Church of Saint John the Baptist (Nobber) in Nobber does weird things when nobody's looking, like rearranging the graveyard markers just to be cheeky. Traceried windows staring at you with judgmental eyes. Grand place for a sulky afternoon nap.

Nobber GreenwayMemorial · 262 ydGallows HillMountain / peak · 1054 ydCommon Lime1274 yd

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Meath would tell a teenager that the 1800s were basically just a really long, damp argument with no Wi-Fi. It’s been standing there judging everyone since then. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

European Yew1.0 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in Meath is a real diva, probably planning to buy a yacht if it hits the lotto. It just stands there looking smug and ancient. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
