Description

The well-house and store, located 10 metres north of the Manor House, dates from the late 18th century. It is a rectangular building, with the northern half containing the well. The walls are made of flint, featuring brick quoins on the west and south sides, as well as the southern half of the east side. The remaining sides are open, with eaves supported by posts that have curved brackets. The roof is hipped and covered with tiles.

The well-head includes a complete timber framework that supports a large horizontal axle for the winding rope. Within the tall centre of the roof space, there is a large treadwheel, which consists of four large spokes and eight minor spokes, along with a thick rim that has short arms tenoned in to support the planks of the walkway. The southern half of the building is lower and serves as a wood shed.
