Subject notes
The pump is Italian gothic in design with a lion's head spout. The inscription is 'The school and village of Dunmore together with this well built by Catherine Herbert Countess of Dunmore were completed AD 1879.'

On the other side it reads

'Here quench your thirst, and mark in me
An emblem of true charity;
Who, while my bounty I bestow,
Am neither heard nor seen to flow,
Repaid by fresh supplies from heaven
For every cup of water given.'
