Well Head At Approx 20M South West Of Baldhu Church

The well head located approximately 20 meters south west of Baldhu Church dates from around 1847 and is possibly designed by William White, who also designed the church, or by the Reverend W. Haslam. It is constructed from dressed elvan and features a corbelled elvan roof topped with a cross finial on the east gable. The structure is rectangular in plan and includes steps leading down to an east-facing doorway. The doorway has a shouldered flat-headed arch. The roof has a straight eaves cornice, and the corbelled roof stones are arranged in slightly overhanging courses to mimic slates or tiles, with roll moulding along the ridge. This well head is an attractive and functionally designed example of Gothic revival style.
