Description
Fentonluna Well is a well house located on the north side of Fentonluna Lane in Padstow. It likely has Medieval origins, with a possibly reused 16th-century arch that features a datestone from 1592, which was probably carved in the 19th century. The structure is made of stone rubble and dressed granite.
The well house has a small rectangular plan and is set into the deerpark walls adjacent to Prideaux House. The exterior features a roughly rounded headed opening, integrated into the slate stone rubble walls of the Deerpark. The dressed granite used in the arch has been repurposed; the two spandrels, originally intended for a four-centred arch, have been modified to support a narrower round-headed arch. These spandrels are adorned with ball finials, and the left spandrel is carved with the name "PRIDEAUX" in uppercase letters. The arch is supported by 19th-century rusticated piers with a moulded plinth, and the datestone from 1592 has been reset at the top of the arch.
Inside the well house, there is a 19th-century cast iron pump.
