Building Survey, 20 November 2000 [1].
Building photographed at the request of North Norfolk Council following a letter from a local resident stating that it was an 'ancient well house' in danger of demolition. The building is constructed of three walls of red bricks in English bond, the south wall is the pre-existing boundary wall of the plot to the north. The bricks are certainly late 19th century. The building is approximately 2.5m high by 3m wide by 2m deep. At the centre of the south wall is a tall and wide archway. There is no trace of a well - the general appearance is more that of a privy, but the wide arch would be unusual in that case. Some structure is marked here on (S1) but with no annotation.
