Geocache Description:



 

Holy well. Dedicated to St Lalluwy in C13 and C14 documents. Rebuilt using reused
material probably in mid C19. Granite with granite roof with gabled ends. Set in
rubblestone wall square in plan. 2 centred arch with cavetto mould to arch and jambs
on front (south) with recessed spandrels with raised bosses. The arch stones with
spandrels appear to be reused and were probably originally set the other way to form
a 4-centred arch. Square well opening.
