Description

The Old Town Well is a structure likely dating from the 17th century. It is accessed by steps that lead down between buttressed rubble retaining walls, creating a long open-roofed passage. At the far end of this passage, on the left side, is the well itself, which is located behind an arched underground opening that features an iron grille.

Local climate

The Old Town Well receives an average of 750 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 72% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 51% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 34 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 50% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 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.
