Lamp standard. Dated 1878; by GS Bridgman. Cast-iron, standing on a four-tiered, chamfered stone plinth. The shaft is in Gothic style, consisting of two super-imposed sets of clustered columns with enriched capitals. From the upper of these spring two large foliated scrolls carrying three lamps; the latter have been renewed in late 20th century. The base, which is held together by an iron strap, is carved with the inscription: ERECTED BY J LANE ESQRE JP AD 1878. Below this in smaller letters is GS BRIDGMAN ARCH. Mr John Lane, a Tiverton draper, had been mayor in 1869. In that year he had paid for the new town hall clock, and in 1877 subscribed £1,000 towards the cost of the new Baptist chapel in Newport Street. The architect for the latter was GS Bridgman of Torquay.
A good example of its type, prominently situated in the historic town centre.
