Maldon Town Council

PUBLIC PUMP CROMWELL HILL

This Grade II listed public pump, installed in 1805 and financed
by public subscription, stands on the site of a pump provided by
Thomas Cannock in 1587 and was the town's first water supply.

Water from a spring called "Cromwell Well" was conveyed to
the pump by a system of lead conduits from
Little Cromwell (Cistern House, Beeleigh Road).

RESTORED CC WESTON 1748
Historic England's website confirms the above, and adds that a stone oval plaque, inscribed "RESTORED CC WESTON ESQ 1748", originally at the pump, is now in the town museum. [Probably C. C. Weston, M.P., of Felix Hall, Kelvedon.]
