Holy Well

Holy wellhouse with medieval origins, made from stones taken from a ruined chapel or wellhouse, reconstructed in the 19th century. It features granite ashlar and stone rubble. The building has a rectangular plan with a central entrance. The exterior is a low, wide structure with a granite ashlar front and chamfered granite coping that rises in a gable over the central entrance. The entrance has a chamfered elliptical arch made of granite with chamfered jambs. The door, dating from the 19th century, is of double construction with vertical boards on the inner side and diagonal planks on the front, adorned with ornate wrought iron hinges. The side and rear walls are made of stone rubble. Inside, there is a rectangular well sump and a flat roof made of large stone flags. The building is reputedly constructed from stones taken by Michael Williams from a ruined chapel or wellhouse in the parish of Lesnewth.
