 A better method was sought, and in 1861 the present Easton and Amos pump was installed.The Westonzoyland pump lifts water from the rhyne (pronounced 'reen') into the River Parrett.The pump operated until 1951, by which time the local drainage system had been linked into King's Sedgemoor Drain, which discharged further down the River Parrett; the water levels dropped and the pump was unable to draw the water from the rhyne.
