- The "Titt" Wind Pump on North Street on the way to Hundon Hall. Historically this engine type is an important and rare example of a transitional design in wind engine technology between the earlier annular sailed windmills of which no example survives and the 20th Century fixed blade galvanised wind engines the "prairie type" wind pumps. The pump was named after its designer John Wallis Titt 1841-1910. There is still a thriving agricultural engineering company in Frome Somerset bearing his name The Wind Engine which was tended by William George Pryke and we assume he is shown in the picture.
