Jubilee Pump

The Jubilee Pump is a disused water pump located on the east side of High Street in East Budleigh, dated 1887. It is constructed from flint and features a granite plaque. The pump is set within a concave curving wall made of rough flints, which is flanked by square terminal piers. These piers have plain projecting caps topped with upright flints, and the wall is also capped with upright flints. The pump was originally situated in a round-headed alcove that is now blocked, surrounded by a plain flint architrave. Above this alcove, a granite plaque is embedded in the wall, inscribed in plain capital letters. The inscription reads: '1887. This tap with eight others was erected as a memorial of the Jubilee Year of H. M. Queen Victoria for the benefit of the present and future inhabitants of East Budleigh. The mains were provided by the Hon. Mark Rolle at a cost of 320 pounds and the taps by the inhabitants at a cost of 23 pounds. God save the Queen'.
