A 19th century Gothic style structure surrounds the actual well. There is a typically Victorian moral verse above the niche http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4811089. The 'sacred sign' clearly relates to the cross on the top, which is a recent replacement. There is still plenty of water around; I wasn't wearing wellies so couldn't get too close! The well is Listed Grade II.
