St Julien Square Well is a traditional village well situated in the small square close to the historic St Julien church. Built from local stone, it features a circular base, a protective stone or wooden cover, and the remains of an old manual drawing system once used by residents. As one of the communal water points of the 19th century, it played an essential role before the arrival of piped water.
