What is recorded here

Freestanding cast-iron water pump, erected c. 1870, with banded shaft, fluted head and finial, foliate detail and ram's head bucket grip to spout, and curved cow's tail handle terminating in ball. Set on raised concrete plinth with steps and concrete boundary walls.

This water pump exhibits artistic detailing in its design, with an elegantly-curved handle, banded shaft, fluted cap and finial enlivening a functional object. Water pumps once played an important social and functional role in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries providing a communal water source. Usually sited in a village or at a busy junction, this one is interesting for its somewhat isolated rural site.
