The Well is fed by a spring and provided the everyday water supply for the Village of Eastleach, since its installation in 1874.
The Well was capped off in the late 1990’s and gradually disapeared from view due to the overgrowth from shrubs, brambles and overhanging hedges.
The well was cleared and restored by the Parish Council in 2019 – read more here.
The well is A Grade II Listed Building in Eastleach Martin, Gloucestershire
