Description
The former well house, built in the mid-19th century before the opening of the water works in 1877, is a rectangular structure made of snecked stone with a hipped stone roof. The entrance features a four-centred arch with a hood mould and blank shields in the spandrels, along with a plank door that has studs and strap hinges. At the rear, there is a small window with small-paned glazing. The roof includes small triangular vents at both the front and rear.
