Description
The well house at Chamberlaine's Almshouses, also known as the Pump House, was built in 1840 by Thomas Larkin Walker for John Toon. It is constructed of English bond brick with sandstone dressings and features a stone pyramid roof with weatherings and a finial. The building has a square plan and is designed in the Tudor Gothic style. It includes a splay blue brick and sandstone plinth, diagonal buttresses, and moulded stone four-centred doorways on the return sides, which have hood moulds with lozenge stops. A moulded cornice runs along the top. The front and rear of the building each have two straight-headed windows, each containing one traceried light with a hood mould. Inside, there is the original cast iron pump, dated 1840, which bears the initials NL.
