'Creature' on display in plans for historic well
Western Mail
|December 26, 2025
PLANS to restore an ancient well in a Welsh village have moved a step closer after approval to seek funding was given by the local community council.
The village of Laleston, located west of Bridgend town centre, is known for its rich history with a number of landmarks such as the 12th-century St David’s Church and The Great House hotel which make it a popular destination for visitors.
However the village is also home to a lesser-known landmark in the form of its ancient well which is said to be one of the best-preserved in Wales, dating back hundreds of years and featuring elements from both the Victorian and Elizabethan periods.
Located at the top of Well Street in Laleston, the stone structure was once the main water supply in the village where it was opened for only two hours per day.
People used it less when water started being pumped into the village and it became largely unused by the 1970s.
