Description

The well-house at Bettws Newydd is a timber-framed shelter dating from the 19th century, featuring a hipped plain tile roof. It has a rectangular plan with an open front and low rock-faced rubble stone walls on the other three sides, which are slightly returned inwards at each end. The structure includes chamfered posts and arch braces supporting the wide opening, with narrow panels on each side that have a low rail, an upper rail, and a pierced flower panel at the top. Small brackets extend from the main posts. The two-bay ends display similar detailing but lack the floral panels. The rear consists of narrow outer panels like those on the front, along with three wider bays that have arch braces forming pointed arches.

Inside, there is a fountain featuring a stone basin and a sandstone ashlar back with a five-leaf half-circle radiating from a marble dolphin head outlet. An inscription encircles the fountain, stating: "Draw Water out of the Wells of Salvation. Isa XII 3," accompanied by a plaque above.
