Well Head Approximately 50 Metres West South West Of Temple Of Flora

The well head, located approximately 50 meters west-southwest of the Temple of Flora in Nuneham Courtenay, dates from the late 18th century to early 19th century. It is made of limestone and features a wrought-iron overthrow in an Italian style. The drum of the well head is intricately carved with foliage, crockets, and four heads, while the octagonal rim is adorned with a cable moulding. The simple overthrow includes some scroll work and supports a pulley. This structure is likely an early 19th-century addition to the innovative flower garden designed in 1771 by the Reverend William Mason for Lord Nuneham, who later became the 2nd Earl Harcourt. Nuneham Park is recognized in the Historic Buildings and Monuments Commission County Register of Gardens at Grade I.
