Wind pump is a late nineteenth-century industrial monument located in Norfolk, England. The structure represents the technological advancement of agricultural and water management practices during the Victorian period, when wind power was increasingly harnessed to pump water for farming operations and domestic use. The pump exemplifies the engineering solutions adopted across East Anglia, a region particularly suited to windmill technology due to its flat landscape and consistent wind conditions. As a surviving example of rural industrial heritage, it contributes to understanding nineteenth-century Norfolk's agricultural infrastructure and the transition towards mechanised farming practices.
