Description "We reinstated the fallen embankments with three hundred square feet of turf laid flat in walls pegged with wooden dowels and further reinforced with split hazel. Ten barrow loads of the fallen embankment were used to reinstate the levels to the original contours above the well. Many ferns and ivy have been planted and are doing well but the numerous other species indigenous at the well are proving more difficult. The National Trust, English Heritage and RHS have all deplored the loss of plants especially the rare ivy which we have not been able to replace." - Trevor Rogers
