One of the entrances into the Well Hall Pleasaunce as seen from Well Hall Road (i.e. the A205). The C14th word Pleasaunce is derived from the old French word plaisance and is also associated with the French verb plaisir = to please. It has become used as an English noun, meaning a secluded part of a garden laid out with trees, walks, etc, something that this particular pleasaunce is, in part.
