Upper Wellhouse

Upper Wellhouse is a well or pump shelter built in the later 19th century. It features a red sandstone plinth and an oak frame supported by massive posts, topped with a hipped clay-tile roof. The structure is rectangular and open at the front and ends, while the rear is walled. The front has three posts on a weathered sandstone plinth, each with a Tudor-arched head in the bays. There are entries at both ends, also featuring similar Tudor arches. A wrought iron railing at the front has curved spikes projecting from each rail and trident rail heads. The rear wall, made of sandstone and brick, includes a bucket-stone and an iron plate that once held a spout. The roof frame is constructed from softwood.
