The plaque on the side of the property reads: 'Built to provide water for Earl Spencer's house, nearby in 1763. In 1798 the well was increased in depth to over 500ft, but it soon silted up. The building was converted to a private house in 1976.' The building is one of the waypoints in the local Heritage Trail.
