Abstract: |
An archaeological investigation was carried out as part of a scheme of ground works associated with garden landscaping at Bonnington House. A stone-built well was discovered to the east of the House and cobbled paths related to the garden recorded on the 1853 OS map were discovered to the west. A lead pipe on the interior of the well on its west side reaches to the bottom of the well and was most likely used to pump water from the well to the house. An old pump in the basement of the house has a matching lead pipe, but no remains of a connecting pipe were unearthed during the ground works closer to the house and it appears that the pump and well are no longer connected. It seems most likely that the well is of 17th or 18th century date; that is, contemporary with the house. |
