Our Ladys Well (Within Field Aprroximately 350 Metres West Of Road

Our Lady's Well is a well house and adjoining water trough located approximately 350 meters west of St Swithun's Road in Hempsted, Gloucester. The well house was built in the late 14th century for the Manor of Hempsted, which was held by the former Augustinian Priory of Llanthony Secunda. The water trough was likely added in the 18th or 19th century.

The well house is constructed of ashlar stone and features a gabled roof made of dressed limestone slabs. The trough is defined by dressed stone kerb walls. The well house is a small, square structure situated above a natural spring, with an entry to the chamber on the east side. The rectangular water trough, designed for livestock, is located at a low level on the east side and extends to the north.

On the exterior, the original ground level has eroded, revealing the foundation of squared rubble laid in courses. Above this foundation, there is a lower chamfered offset plinth of one course and an upper chamfered offset plinth of two courses. In the east gable-end wall, slightly to the right, is a small doorway with a lowered threshold, featuring a continuous hollow chamfer on the jambs and an ogee arch cut into the lintel block. The east gable also has a small vent slit, while the other walls are plain. Both gables are topped with hipknobs carved with trefoils on their outer faces and may have originally supported finials. The roof slabs have interlocking rebated edges.

Inside, there is a small, square chamber with a water inlet at low level. This well house is a substantially complete and rare example of a medieval structure, recognized as an important part of Gloucester's architectural heritage associated with medieval water supply. It is also designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
