This replica pump overshadowed by the Westgate Butter Cross in the smaller of Mansfield's two market places was placed here in May 1989 to celebrate the introduction of Methodism in Mansfield in 1788. The original pump commemorated the first Methodist gathering to be held in Mansfield. That service was conducted by John Adams who had walked from Nottingham to preach where he did, i.e. near the original pump.
