Summary edit

Description
English: The Trunch Town Pump. This pump was erected in 1922 to replace an earlier iron pump installed in 1896 over the existing 60 foot deep village well. The octagonal barrel was bored and sawn in the village from three 25 foot tree trunks taken from Felbrigg Woods. The sections were jointed together using a mixture of fat and resin to provide a seal. (This information was taken from the plaque affixed to the pump > 1075431.) Trunch is a small village with a population of about 800, located three miles north of North Walsham and two miles from the coast at Mundesley. The parish covers an area of 5.5 square kilometres. The village - dominated by St Botholph's church > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1075202 - is set in an area of outstanding natural beauty and can trace its history back to 1066. The name Trunch is believed to derive from a Danish word which means 'weighing place' and a market is said to have been held there as late as the 16th century. There is a village store and post office, the Crown Inn, and a number of attractive houses and converted barns. Once there also used to be a large brewery which was built in 1837 by William Primrose, whose family used to live in the parish for three centuries - the brewery has since closed. In English folk music the fictional village of St Just-near-Trunch is famous for being the home of the satirical band called 'The Kipper Family'.
