Description

Tewit Well is the earliest of the Harrogate chalybeate springs, discovered by Mr. William Slingsby in 1571 and described by Edmund Deane in "Spadacrene Anglica" in 1626. The original well-cover was replaced by the current pavilion around 1807-1808, which was moved from the site of the Old Sulphur Well around 1842 when the Royal Pump Room was built. The pavilion is circular and features a modern fibreglass dome resting on a stone colonnade with a Tuscan Order of 12 columns. Six of the column bases stand on a plinth, while the other six are shortened to rest on a pedestal. The former wall infill, which included doors and windows from around 1842, has recently been removed. A modern concrete cover now seals the top of the old well.
