Lamp Standard Approximately 12 Metres North Of Number 10

This lamp standard, located approximately 12 metres north of Number 10 in Owston Ferry Market Place, was erected in 1866 for Frances Sandars. It features an ashlar base and a cast-iron pedestal and lamp, with a square plan. The lamp standard has a moulded stepped base and a square pedestal that includes a moulded plinth and cornice. On the north side, there is a plate inscribed with "THE GIFT OF FRANCES SANDARS 1866." Above this, a slender fluted column supports an octagonal base and a lamp topped with a domed cap. The lamp is currently in working order and was originally lit by gas from the village gasworks. Frances Sandars was a local benefactor known for founding the Almshouses in Bagsby Lane and for providing various gifts to the church, including the archway to the churchyard.
