The well house was built in the 14th century for the Manor of Hempsted, which was held by Llanthony Secunda.

[1][2] The well house is a tall structure built from Limestone blocks with an arched opening at the front.

On the back of the well is a stone sculpture showing Saint Anne standing between her daughter, the virgin Mary, and an Angel.

[6] In the past it has been a place for pilgrimage, with countless pilgrims being recorded as coming to the site to seek cures.

There is a rectangular water trough, also on the west side extending to the north, which is made of dressed stone kerb walls.
