Description
The gate piers and holy well, located 120 meters southeast of Trescobel, date from around the 1890s when the holy well was rebuilt by Reverend N.T. Every, the Vicar of St. Kew. The structure features ashlar walls and piers, while the well house is constructed from stone rubble and brick.
The entrance gateway consists of a pair of square-on-plan ashlar gate-piers topped with pyramidal granite caps, flanked by quadrant walls with granite coping that terminate in square piers, also capped with granite pyramids. The holy well is partly integrated into and located behind the left-hand wall. The well house, situated behind this wall, is made of stone rubble and includes a brick basket arch opening with a plank door and a timber cross above. The well opening itself is square-on-plan.
This gateway serves as the main entrance to the former Rectory, where Reverend N.T. Every rebuilt the holy well in his garden, partially incorporating it into the entrance structure.
