Description

St Petroc's Well is a holy well that likely has medieval origins and was probably constructed using materials from Bodmin Priory, which was dissolved in 1539. The well is made of granite and is built into a bank, featuring a square opening with moulded granite jambs and a slightly cambered moulded granite lintel. The interior walls are made of stone rubble, and there is a tablet set into the rear wall.
