Description
The Village Pump is an early 19th-century pump located off Tiptree Road in Great Braxted. It is enclosed in a white painted boarded casing and features a down-curved iron handle topped with a ball finial. The central moulded metal panel displays flower motifs on either side of the lead spout, which is adorned with flowing moulding above. An iron half band with a central bucket hook supports the spout. This pump is unusual and resembles one found in the stable courtyard of Braxted Park House. It was likely placed here by Peter Du Cane when he relocated cottages from near Great Braxted Church to Bung Row and enclosed the park.

Village Pump sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 680 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 99% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 60% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 20 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 78% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
