The Holy Well is about a quarter of a mile from the Church. The chapel was originally the parish .church and fell into disrepair after the current church was built by the Normans, The well chapel rebuilt in the 15th century. By Victorian times it was again in a poor state; the walls had fallen in and it was overgrown.

The Victorian restoration was arranged in by the Rev. Sabine Baring-Gould of Lewtrenchard, a local novelist, hymn-writer and antiquary; the chapel was re-dedicated in September 1899. The foundations of the chapel are known to be Celtic and the masonry has been dated to approximately 1450. It is now a Grade II listed building. In 2009 it was again restored with Heritage Lottery funding.

The water flows under the chapel from the well which is protected by a small stone well building. The water enters the chapel to the left of the altar and flows out through a niche in the south wall.
