St Peter's Well is a Category B Listed Building, rectangular in shape with a flat ridge or 'saddle-shaped' top and a steeply pitched roof with little ornamentation other than a chamfer on the arch at the entrance.

In the 1880s it is recorded as being in danger of collapse however the present structure has been internally consolidated and now has cement between the stones and it appears to be in good overall condition (datum 2018).

[1] The well is choked with vegetation and the ground in front of the well is so boggy that access is not possible without suitable footwear, a situation that suggests that a direct channel to St Peter's Burn once existed.

For how weary soe'er his wanderings may be Through lands that are distant and wild, The blessings shall bear him o'er mountain and sea To the home that he trode when a child.

And bringing him back, whether rich or poor Whether vagabond, wise or gay Ensureth a draught of water that's pure, And a grave in the village clay.
