Sussexias - Articles - Essex - Gosfield Hall Donkey Gin Gosfeld Hall Donkey Gin & Beam Water Pump If ever you are down in Essex, near Braintree, spare half an hour or so to visit Gosfield Hall (at GR: TL 77482979) and look at its Gin and Pump installation, which is probably unique. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, a Grade I Listed Building, and is included in the Sites and Monuments Record, formally recorded as a 'Well House and Donkey Wheel attached to Gosfield Hall". It is reputed to date back to the 17th/18th century, though the present machinery is thought to be only 19th century - presumably an up-dating. Work to arrest deterioration was undertaken in 1981 but was insufficient to restore it to any sort of working order.
