History
Exterior
History: The church advowson grant of 1301 mentions a spring of St. Theliai. This is traditionally taken to be the present well referred to, and its proximity to the Abbey ruins supports the identification.
Description: The well is approximately circular, stone-lined, about 0.9 m in diameter. The superstructure is built in local stone rubble, patched in bricks. In front of it is a small paved area, slightly sunk below the level of the lane. The superstructure is open-fronted, in a horshoe-shape, about 2.5 m high, capped with a sloping stone and a lintel at the front.
Listed as an ancient well.
