Pump House Approximately 250 Metres To West North West Of Hall

The pump house, located approximately 250 meters to the west-north-west of Beningbrough Hall, dates from the late 19th to early 20th century and was built for the Dawnays of Beningbrough Hall. It is constructed of brick, with some reused bricks that are thin and orange, while the rest are mottled pink, arranged in English garden wall bond with contrasting white brick. The building is square in shape, featuring an outshut to the west, and consists of three stages topped with an embattled parapet.

On the east elevation, there is a central doorway beneath a cambered header brick arch, with a five-course band above it and a stone band. The second stage has three narrow windows with chamfered stone lintels, stone cills, and brick relieving arches, which are separated by white-brick pilasters that extend into a stepped and dentilled cornice. The third stage also features three narrow windows with chamfered lintels and a corbelled parapet.

The west elevation has an opposing elliptical-arched doorway that is obscured by the outshut, which has had its roof removed. The windows on this elevation are similar to those on the east. The north elevation has a window in the first stage that still shows remnants of iron glazing bars. Inside, there are massive timber ties. This pump house was used to pump water from the River Ouse to a skating pond. At the time of the last survey, it was in a state of dereliction. This structure likely replaced an earlier pump house that is marked on the 1852 Ordnance Survey map.
