Description

The building is a village pump or conduit head, installed in 1894 by the Calcutts of Avening Park. It is made of cast iron and features a small fluted column with a spout on the front, topped with a domed cap and a finial. This pump is one of seven similar pumps in the village of Avening, all of which were supplied by a large reservoir located at the west end of the village. It serves as an interesting example of Victorian water supply provided by an estate for its tenants.
