Description
The Well House, located 2 metres north of Bury Lodge, is an early 19th-century structure designed for raising water. It is a square brick pavilion featuring arched openings on each side, with the southwest corner being chamfered. Inside, the brick floor has a boarded hatch at its centre. The timber framework supports a mechanism that includes a high-level axle connected to a wheel with dowel cogs set between wide flanges. There is also a smaller cogged wheel linked by an axle to a larger lightly-framed wheel, which has a wrought-iron handle fixed near its rim and is controlled by a long brake lever. Additionally, there is a lead-lined trough on one side, designed with an indented side to accommodate a tipped water barrel. This trough slopes and narrows to pass through a hole in the east wall. The arrangement of the cogged wheels suggests that an intermediate gear wheel may be missing, or there might have been a belt drive connecting them.
