The well-head was built in 1855 to cover an established spring, and has an amusing inscription on the side http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5719019 . There is also a plaque recording the restoration of the well-head at the time of the coronation in 1953. The pump is of uncertain and manufacture. Listed Grade II, the listing refers to a surrounding rail, of which some of the supporting posts are visible, although the rail has disappeared, possibly due to the need to accommodate modern farm vehicles on a narrow road!
