Description
St John's Well is a structure dating from around 1842, built on the site of an earlier well head from approximately 1786. The original chalybeate spring was described in 1931 by Dr. Michael Stanhope. The building is an octagonal pavilion made of grit stone ashlar, featuring pilasters that support a cornice and a pierced parapet above. It has three windows and a doorway, which alternate with plain panelled sides. The round-arched windows are framed with architraves and include two arched lights topped with a pediment. The round-arched doorway also has an architrave and is adorned with a console-bracketed pediment.
