Great Dunmow (click on photographs to bring up bigger/better versions).

great dunmow In the centre of Great Dunmow, Essex, this pump is very similar to one at Thaxted, but with evidence that a lower spout has been replaced by a higher one. There is some history behind the pumps in this village, as their removal led to a pump riot in 1786 with 12 people being incarcerated in Chelmsford Gaol as a result.
