Description
This well, located approximately 100 metres north-east of the Church of St John the Baptist, dates from the mid to late 19th century and was built for the Duke of Northumberland, possibly designed by Anthony Salvin, who restored the church. The structure is made of rubble with a stone slate roof and consists of a small single-storey cell that is square in plan. It features a pointed-arched opening at the front, adorned with continuous hollow-and-roll moulding, and has stepped diagonal buttresses at each corner. The gable has moulded coping and a finial. On the rear wall, there is a lancet-shaped vent. Inside, there is a low string course around the walls and a six-sided basin set on the ground, with two iron bars across it for placing vessels. An iron pipe in the rear wall discharges water into the basin, which is fed from a well in the nearby field.
