The pump house on the Common Place at Little Walsingham, Norfolk, UK.


The 16th century octagonal brick pump house with an iron brazier on its stone roof, known as the Beacon. Originally the main water supply point for the whole village, the pump house also used to have a pinnacle but this was broken off in 1900 during some rather rowdy celebrations.
