Cadw's description
Location
The pump stands in a small landscaped area of recent origin, on the N bridge head, in the centre of the village.
History
Erected probably in the mid-late C19 when a piped public water supply was brought to the village.
Exterior
A lift pump of cast iron, consisting of a plain 6-in diameter pipe rising to a plain chamber at the top, provided with a rod handle curved into a loop at the end. The discharge pipe has a hook for buckets. No maker or registration plates. It has recently been painted.
Reason for designation
Included as a well preserved C19 water pump, one of a group of such pumps in the area, an interesting example of a public amenity, unusual in a rural area.
