Description
The wellhouse in the churchyard was rebuilt in 1838 and is constructed of flint with stone dressings, featuring a slate roof where visible. It has a square plan and a pointed-arched entrance made of much decayed dressed stone with a chamfered plinth, which originates from an earlier building. Inside, the well is open, and there is a vertical donkey-wheel that dates from the 18th century or earlier.
