Description

The well and wellhead at Bulstrode Farm, located 3 meters north of the house, date from the 18th century or early 19th century. It features wood and cast iron wellhead gear for a capped well, topped with a timber and tiled canopy. The wellhead is oriented east-west and has a pitched tiled roof supported by an axial tie-beam and an upright post at each end. There is a second post next to the eastern post, which contains gearing in the space between. The mechanism includes a wooden spindle with a large wooden winding drum at the center, a wooden brakewheel with a lever brake on the east side, and a toothed cast iron wheel driven by a small cogged wheel from the spindle of a large four-spoked cast iron flywheel, which has a cranked iron handle on the outside to the east. The farmhouse at Bulstrode Farm is not listed.
