Henlow Pump House

The Henlow Pump House is a pump house built in 1897. It has a hexagonal plan and consists of six timber posts with curved braces that support a pyramidal six-sided hipped roof, which is tiled and capped with metal flashing, culminating in a decorative finial. The roof structure features a tie beam with a king post. There is a Portland stone horse trough that bears the inscription: 'This well was built by the people of Henlow / to commemorate the 60th year of / Queen Victoria's reign / open on the 29th date of September 1897'.

Historically, Henlow was connected to the mains water supply less than ten years after the pump house was constructed. The mechanical pump was removed in 1926, and the well was capped. This structure serves as a well-designed piece of village furniture located near the Grade I Church of St. Mary and commemorates the Diamond Jubilee.
