Description

The Parish Pump, dated 1823, is an iron structure located on Mitcham Road. It was erected by the principal inhabitants of the parish to commemorate the sinking of an artesian well and the provision of a pump. The modern base supports a square plinth featuring recessed floral panels. Above this, there is a Doric baluster adorned with foliate decoration, which carries an altered circular open basin and a hood topped with an urn finial.

Local climate

The Parish Pump sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 82% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 81% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 33 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 54% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 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.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
