Description
Fram Well Head is a well head built in 1450, which was rebuilt in 1847 and restored in 1959. It was moved from its original location 165 yards to the north-east. This well head was a gift from Thomas Billingham to the city. It is constructed from coursed squared sandstone and has a rectangular plan with low diagonal buttresses. There is a slot on the east side, and the south side features rebates for a door, which is now blocked and contains a commemorative plaque that provides the history of the well. The structure has a steeply-sloped coping that is three courses high.
