Description
The Revolution Well is a well cover dated 1788, located on Stonegate Road in Meanwood, Leeds. It was moved slightly from its original position around 1926. The structure is made of gritstone slabs and features wrought-iron supports. It stands approximately 1 meter high and 0.8 meters wide, with a rectangular plan and a pyramidal capstone that has iron staples. On the south side, there is a round-arched opening, while the north side displays an inscription in fine incised and abbreviated lettering. The inscription reads: "Bog in the adjoining field drain'd,/ spring open'd,/ and conducted hither/ For the benefit of the Passenger,/ and the neighbouring House/ Novr 5th, 1788/ the 100th Anniversary from the land'g of/ KING WILLIAM/ in memory of which happy AEra,/ this is by Joseph Oates inscrib'd/ THE REVOLUTION WELL." Joseph Oates, who was from Weetwood Hall, inherited Carr Manor House after his father's death in 1779 and undertook various building works and land improvements on the estate.
