Well House About 10 Metres South East Of Church Of St Anne

This well house, located about 10 meters southeast of the Church of St Anne, was likely built in 1882 by Samuel Hooper of Hatherleigh and incorporates masonry from around the 15th century. It features Polyphant and granite ashlar with granite coping and an inscription in granite. The structure has a slatestone rubble tunnel vault and a 2-centred freestone niche on the inner rear wall. The gabled well house is set into the bank of the churchyard and has a 4-centred pointed chamfered opening with "Sancta Anna" carved in relief above it. There is a trefoil-headed niche in the gable, and the granite coping is decorated with fleurons, which appear to be from the 15th century, as does the base of the cross at the apex. An unmoulded niche on the inner rear wall, possibly from the 15th century, features a crudely carved head that projects above the apex.
