Description

This is a well built in 1711, made of limestone. It features an upper rectangular trough with a slightly chamfered top, which has two stone channels on the north side and a single stone channel on the west side, directing water into three lower rectangular troughs. There are fragmentary remains of an even lower trough to the west, which is covered with two stone slabs. Attached to the well is a plaque commemorating the marriage of H.R.H. The Prince of Wales to Lady Diana Spencer in July 1981. The plaque also notes that the Constables of Horbling paid £9.15s.5d. in 1711 to Anthony Ashley of Stamford for the construction and maintenance of the well for 20 years.

Local climate

Well sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 710 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 85% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 31 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 61% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
