Description
The Well House above the Town Well and the wall adjoining to the east is a small building dated around 1861, constructed from coursed stone with a pyramidical tiled roof. It features buttresses at the west angles and a four-centred stone archway on the west side, along with smaller pointed archways on the north and south sides, each fitted with iron gates in an arrow-head pattern. Inside the building, there is a wheel and pump. A notice on the Well House states: "Notice is hereby given that the well is to be closed at 7 O'Clock in the evening and opened at 6 O'Clock in the morning and to be closed all day on the Sabbath. By order of the Mayor." To the east, the building is backed by a wall made of red brick and stone rubble.
