Saint Peter's Well — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Holy well surmounted by freestanding gable-fronted single-cell chamber, dated 1840. Pitched stone flag roof and rubble limestone walls. Square-headed doorway to front (south-east) elevation. Inscribed limestone date plaque over opening. Well to interior.

The plaque on this simple structure dates it to 1840, although the well dates to much earlier. The holy well served an important spiritual and social function, a tradition aligned as much if not more with earlier pagan beliefs as with contemporary religious practices. As such it was a focus point for the area, and its location in the centre of Peterswell village, to which it has given its name, is significant.
