This still-working pump at Houghton, Hants, was donated to the village in the memory of Sir Lionel de Lautour Wells, who lived at Houghton Lodge. He had illustrious careers in the Royal Navy, as Chief Officer of the Metropolitan Fire Brigade, and as Chief Agent for the Conservative Party. He was knighted in 1921 and died in 1929. Inside the shelter is the inscription: Click here to

With thee is the well of life and in thy light shall we see light.
Markings: "I.C.W" and "1931". This must refer to Ida Caroline Wells, who wrote his memoirs.

A well-preserved pump sitting on a circular, brick-built, platform on the green opposite the Purefoy Arms in Preston Candover, Hants. It was erected in 1870 next to the village pond, and the pond was filled in during the 1920s. Good to read that Hampshire CC's official web site lists the pump as "one of Hampshire's Treasures". It has dual spouts, one at high level, probably for farm vehicles.
