The earliest documentary evidence of the well is in a quitclaim dated 1301.A survey of the well was carried out in 1995 which found that it is a square stone-lined pit with two large slabs on either side and two steps down from the southern side beside the road. In the bottom of the well is a ceramic pipe which has been inserted at a later date. At the time of the survey there was water present up to the level of the first step. The cover slabs show some signs of damage but there was no sign of the curbs added in 1907. It is said to have been used for baptisms up to the 20th century.

This continued until 2000, when a more formal annual well dressing event was revived. The well is a scheduled monument.
