Description
The village pump, likely from the 19th century, has been restored with a shelter added in the early 20th century. The pump itself is made of lead and iron and features wooden cladding. It stands about 1.5 meters high and has a drooping lead spout on the north side, along with an iron handle on the west side. Beneath the spout is a sandstone slab with a rounded front and a worn surface.
The shelter is rectangular and open-sided, supported by four timber corner posts. It has wavy braces connecting the horizontal beams at the eaves and a steeply-pitched hipped roof covered in fishscale tiles that extend over the eaves, complete with cresting along the short ridge. The sides of the beams are decorated with incised designs and Gothic script that reads: "O Ye Wells Bless Ye The Lord Praise Him And Magnify Him For Ever."
