Description
The well house at The Cannons, built in the 1830s, is constructed from ashlar and features reused window tracery from the ruined church of St. Edmund. It has a roof made of black glazed pantiles. The facade consists of fragments of late 15th-century tracery, with a coat of arms of the Borough of Yarmouth positioned above, and has a swept top. The wall between the tracery is made of flint, and the building has a gabled roof. The entrance at the rear, which has keystones, is currently blocked, and the jambs are designed as columns. Above the entrance, there is a memorial plaque from the church.
