Description
The Pump House, built against the Churchyard wall in 1760, commemorates the fire of 1731. It was erected by John Bastard and exemplifies the later, more severe classical style of the Bastards’ architecture. The structure comprises a pedimented canopy supported by Roman Doric columns, featuring an entablature with triglyphs and other classical detail. Constructed from Portland stone, the Pump House originally contained a pump, but in 1897 a fountain was installed in its place. The Pump House is part of a group of listed buildings including those in Market Place, East Street, West Street, Conyer's Filling Station, and the Church of St Peter and St Paul.
