Images taken from a book written by a Bosherston schoolteacher, Mrs Evans, around 1930:
“The pump is built over a well situated on the western side of the Bosherston ponds. Here the interesting function of electing the Mayors of Bosherston took place. The last to hold this coveted position was James Davies or “Old king” as he was termed, a malster on the Stackpole Estate for 63 years. He lived to the ripe old age of 93, and kept faithfully to the old world dress, knee breeches, cocked hat, swallow tail coat and cravat to the end of his days. His tombstone is to be seen to the western side of the church tower.”
