Abstract: |
The report describes work conservation work carried out on Roche Holy Well in 2006, due to concerns that the well house structure and associated walling were in an unstable condition. Volunteers from the St Austell Old Cornwall Society cleared vegetation from around the monument and cleared silt in an attempt to improve access to the site. Masons from Darrock and Brown then stabilised the Holy Well structure and rebuilt the walls which flanked its arched opening. As part of the project, Historic Buildings Consultant Eric Berry visited the site. He concluded that although the main stonework elements are of Tudor date, they come from another building and were only erected here in the 18th century. A survey of the valley bottom around the well was also produced. |
