Description

St Deiniol's Well is an ancient well with historical significance, mentioned in a church advowson grant from 1301, which refers to a spring of St. Theliai. This well is traditionally identified with that spring, and its location near the Abbey ruins supports this connection.

The well is approximately circular and stone-lined, measuring about 0.9 meters in diameter. Its superstructure is constructed from local stone rubble, with patches of brick. In front of the well, there is a small paved area that is slightly lower than the level of the lane. The superstructure is open-fronted and has a horseshoe shape, standing about 2.5 meters high. It is capped with a sloping stone and features a lintel at the front.

It experiences an average of 5 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 1 follows at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
