Initially near this spot was the stone St Mary's Cross which was removed in 1781 as it was “incommodious for wheeled carriages”. It was used by George Rowe, the surveyor of highways, as infill for Beggar's, now Bakers Hill.

 

This was replaced by a well, later a pump was added then a stone pillar with a tap known as the “Town Shute”
