WARGRAVE SU78SE CRAZIES HILL 1110-0/1/10002 Rebecca`s Well II Well house. Circa 1870.

Semi-conical tile roof with gabled front. Semi-circular on plan. Gabled front with semi-cicular arch, brick band and dentils above and painting in gable by Jekyll with inscription :-'Rebeka and the Servants of Abraham at the well of Nahor. And the servants ran to meet her and said let I pray thee drink a little water of thy pitcher'. The painting depicts Rebecca and a servant by the well. It appears to have been restored.
