Octagonal roof surmounted by stone cupola with pelican finial. Shallow octagonal basin set into floor inside, and curved stone benches projecting from each face. The well-house is linked to the water-tank by a shallow stone conduit. The rectangular bath or tank, partly sunk below ground level, has solid panelled stone balustrade with panelled corner pilasters. These are surmounted by masked urns, replicas of the originals made in 1972. Steps lead into the water at the SE inner .
