Description
The monumental well at Ossington Hall, built in 1877, serves as a memorial to Edward Denison, who died in 1870. Constructed from ashlar, it features a concave patterned tile roof and decorative terra cotta panels designed by John Birnie Philip. The well is in a classical style with a single bay and an octagonal plan. It has an octagonal base consisting of three steps and is supported by four Tuscan columns on dice, which carry an octagonal canopy adorned with a terra cotta panelled frieze and a modillioned cornice. The roof is topped with an iron finial. Inside, there is a framed canted well head with a windlass, flanked by panelled pilasters. An inscribed tablet with a terra cotta frieze is also present. The rear elevation features an inscribed panel with a verse signed by Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, dated September 21st, 1877.
