Description
The Paradise Well is a Grade I listed structure located in Stourton with Gasper, within the Stourhead Gardens. This feature, likely dating from the late 18th century, consists of an urn positioned over a spring head. The urn is made of limestone and features a square plinth and base, with a circular wide-bodied shape that includes fluting and a scrolled frieze. It stands atop a brick spring head that has two arched openings. The urn was depicted in an 1813 painting by F. Nicholson, although it was originally located on the opposite side of the path. It was relocated to its current position by Henry Hoare, the 6th Baronet.
