Description
The village well in Lockton dates from the early 19th century. It features limestone rubble walls and cast iron railings with a gate. The well is enclosed by a raised square formed by the wall of the carriage arch to Ivy Cottage on the east, an attached wall to the south, a wall of a garage to the west (which is not of special interest), and railings on a stone plinth to the north. To the left of the entrance, there are urn finials on the gateposts, and the railings and gate are topped with spear finials. An inscription reset in the wall to the east states: "This well was founded in 1697 at the charges of: Robert Merrey: Iohn Robinson: Edward Thornhill: Robart Richinson: Robart Harrisson: James Wamsley: William Pond."
