Update
Further damage has been done to both the 14th Century well structure, and the accompanying 19th Century pump house.
Sadly we are losing these heritage buildings to the actions of unknown persons. The pump house was constructed about 1860 by Munro of the Temperance Society, for use with his healthy living therapy associated with the Society's teachings in Dawlish. He placed a pipe inside the 14th Century well. This beautiful well was constructed by the monks for Bishop John de Grandisson around 1350.
Some persons unknown have removed the roof and pushed down the walls of the pump house. Later they used the brick debris to assault the stone biuilt well head, smashing the shaped ancient red devon sandstones to fragments, before throwing all debris far and wide.
We have recorded this as a crime, and we are offering a reward leading to their arrest and charge. For my own part I am still in state of disbelief that anyone could cause damage to anything so special.
