A well erected in 1874 (so not particularly ancient - that is the name given by Historic England) as a memorial to Harriet Walter Vyvyan of Forest End. It has a cover over the opening fitted in around 2010 when it was last restored. Before that, there was a grille covering the opening. The structure is a Grade II listed building, list entry number 1390385 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1390385
