Description
The Wellhouse, located between Stanmer House and the stables, dates from the late 17th century to the 18th century and has been significantly restored. It is constructed of timber, featuring lath and plaster walls that are now covered with pebbledash on the south-east, south-west, and north-west sides, while the north-east side is smooth-rendered. The building consists of three bays and includes 19th-century braced king posts, with all the purlins replaced. It has two round arches on both the south-east and north-east sides, and one round arch on the north-west side. Under the north-western truss, there is a horizontal horsewheel, with iron gear wheels and belt transmission dating from around 1850; this horsewheel was relocated from another site, and the engine was originally powered by oxen. The flooring features brick and cobbled paving with a horse-track, and the well itself is now sealed.
