Description
St Petrock's well and garden pond, located about 35 meters southwest of the Manor Hotel, is a wellhouse and garden pond built in the late 19th century, likely designed by Sabine Baring-Gould. The wellhouse is constructed from granite ashlar and features a garden pond with a stone border. It is a small rectangular structure topped with a corbelled granite roof that has gables at both ends. The wellhouse includes a chamfered round-headed doorway and a simple round-headed niche with a stone cross in the gable. Inside, there is an additional small niche on the left wall. The external niche originally held a statue of St Petrock. Baring-Gould, who renovated Lew House (now the Manor Hotel) in the late 19th century, may have been inspired to create the wellhouse due to the holy well located in the grounds of Morwenstow Vicarage, home to Reverend R.S. Hawker, whose biography Baring-Gould published in 1876. The rectangular fishpond is situated directly in front of the wellhouse.
