GV II
Spring head at source of the River Wey. Mid to late C19,
rebuilt 1991. Rubble, some brickwork in reveals, stone slab
roof, stone and concrete paving. A 2-bay recess built into the
hillside, fronted with 2 flat 4-centred arches with rock-faced
stone voussoirs, under a drip mould, and with a parapet with
merlons above.
The arches are carried on a central cast-iron column with
circular shaft and base, and Early English leaf capital to an
octagonal abacus. Above the arches is an inset stone panel
with the letters C T I G in Gothic script. To the left the
stonework dies into a retaining wall approx 5m long, and to
the right as a boundary wall, approx 1.75m high and approx 10m
long, but with a small recessed area, formerly occupied by an
access gate from the adjoining lane. In front of this
construction, in an area of paving, is a roughly circular
well-head in grotto-like open-textured stone, approx 2.5m in
diameter.
HISTORICAL NOTE: this is referred to in the Torrington Diaries
for 1782 as Upway Spring, a fashionable place of resort from
Weymouth. It continues to attract pilgrims.
