Description
The Parish Pump, built in 1887, is located on the north side of High Street in Banwell. It features a random rubble wall on three sides, topped with a coping that includes large stones. Facing the road is a plain wrought iron gate, with three steps leading down into the compound. Inside, there is a cast iron pump that stands about 1.8 metres high, characterized by a fluted column, a spout, and a pump handle, all topped with a pine cone finial. A plaque on the rear wall states: 'This well was sunk/and pump erected, by/voluntary subscriptions/of the parishioners to/commemorate the jubilee/of her majesty/Queen Victoria/1887'.
