Description
The village pump, located southeast of Parsonage Piece, is a late 19th-century structure designed in a picturesque style. It features a pump encased in a wooden box-like structure topped with a pyramidal roof. The rectangular shelter has painted timber corner posts with curved braces that support a gabled roof. This roof is covered with clay tiles, accented by bands of fishscale tiles and decorative terracotta ridge cresting, complete with a central finial. The shelter is open on the southeast side, while the other sides have half-height painted wood panelling.
