Above a duck-filled stream on Village Road. Dating from about 1847, the well house rather resembles an ornate altar tomb with its moulded finial. Around the water outlet at this northern side is an arch, the inner part of which is trefoil-shaped. "In 1832 Woodbury Salterton was struck by a cholera epidemic; Marianne Pidsley put a series of improvements in hand" http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/Details/Default.aspx?id=88659&mode=adv .
