Description

The Village Well, likely built in the early 19th century, is constructed from gritstone and has a square plan measuring approximately 8 feet by 8 feet. The walls are topped with three large stone blocks that are connected by pieces of iron. In the central stone, there is a small hole covered by a metal lid for access to the well. To the north, there is a projecting stone with a niche that once held a tap, which is topped by a large pyramidal coping stone.
