rye A nicely presented wooden-boxed lead pump in what used to be called Pump St., but is now Church Square. The tank carries two embossed designs, very worn but possibly depicting drinking cups surmounted by crosses, the letters "RC", and a date - 1826. The lead "rat's tail" downpipe is exposed behind a metal grille. A plaque to one side recounts some of the history relating to the water tower.

Markings: None other reported.

Manufacturer: Unk.
