St John's Well

St John's Well is a spa water well in Harrogate, a town in North Yorkshire, in England.

The well was discovered in about 1631 by Dr Michael Stanhope, who wrote about it in Cures without Care.

A toilet block was constructed by 1656, then a wellhead was built in 1788 by Alexander Wedderburn.

[4] The wellhead is a pavilion in gritstone, with pilasters, a cornice and a pierced parapet.

There is an octagonal plan, with three windows and a doorway alternating with plain panelled sides.
