Earl's Colne, Essex (click on photograph to bring up bigger/better version).

	This impressive pump at Earl's Colne, Essex, was donated by local benefactor Mrs. Mary Gee of Colne House. Thanks to Brian Light for the photos. An inscription on the plinth reads:.
	THIS WELL WAS DIGGED IN THE YEAR OF GRACE 1853 IN THANKFUL COMMEMORATION IN THE ABSENCE OF CHOLERA FOR THE COMMON USE OF THE PEOPLE AND TO PROVOKE THEM TO CLEANLINESS OH WELLS BLESS YE THE LORD PRAISE HIM AND MAGNIFY HIM FOR EVER
	Markings: None other reported. Manufacturer: The pump is very similar to S. Owens's "Enriched Gothic Pump Case", and - apart from the plinth - is practically identical to a pump in the Market Place, Enfield.
