The original well house was provided at the end of the 1800s by the
Poynder family, who also supplied well houses at Biddestone, Colerne,
and Hilmarton. The well house was repaired in 2002-2003. (Wiltshire
Historic Buildings Trust, 1967-2007, pg.29).The verse inside the house reads:
Here quench your thirst and make in me
An emblem of true charity,
Who why my Bounty bestow,
Am neither heard nor seen to flow.
Repaid by fresh supplies from Heaven,
For every cup of water give.
I visited the well house in 2017 and got speaking to a resident. He informed me that in all the years he'd lived there, he'd never seen water in the well.
