Description

The Wellhouse, located on Gotham Leake Road, is a mid-19th century structure originally built as a wellhouse and now serves as a shelter. It is constructed from wood, ashlar, and iron, featuring a pyramidal plain tile roof topped with a single finial. The building has an open hexagonal plan with a low hexagonal wall that is topped with cast iron railings, which includes an entrance. Inside, there is a hexagonal platform supported by six hexagonal posts that have decorative braces, holding up the roof. The interior also contains a single hexagonal ashlar block.

Local climate

The Wellhouse sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% 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 37 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 66% of listed buildings. Of these, 17 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.
