What is recorded here
Freestanding spa well, built c. 1840, comprising of D-plan structure having dressed rubble stone wall with bowed wall to rear (north-west). Vaulted stone roof. Square-headed door opening to front (south-east) elevation. Triangular tooled stone drain to doorway. Internal circular well with stone facing. Located off driveway to Glenbrook House.
An interesting feature which warranted the construction of protective walls. Its unusual D-plan shows great skill in its fabric including well executed dressed stone walls with fine dressed stone used for its doorway. A curious carved stone basin demonstrates the skill of mid nineteenth-century masons and provides an elegant exit for the water from the well. The well contained chalybeate waters, also known as ferruginous waters, which are mineral spring waters containing salts of iron.
