Description

St Decuman's Well, located north-west of the parish church, is a 19th-century reconstruction of what is likely a late medieval well, associated with the legend of St Decuman. The well features a circular head made of random rubble stone walls, which is covered by a single flat stone and grass. Water flows into two round fronted 'D' shaped stone troughs that are set in stone paving slabs. Access to the well is via a steep flight of stone steps, which are not included in the listing.
