Billy Hobby's Well

Billy Hobby's Well is in Grosvenor Park, Chester, Cheshire, England.

[2] This field contained a spring or well that was believed to have magical powers; maidens stood with their right leg in the water and wished for husbands.

[3] As part of the development of the park, the Marquess commissioned the Chester architect John Douglas to design a number of features for the park, including a canopy for the well.

Each face has a pointed arch flanked by a granite column containing wrought iron bars.

The roof consists of a tiled spire, and at its apex is a lead finial surmounted by a copper fish which acts as a weather vane.
