2. The Tewit Well was the earliest of the Harrogate chalybeate springs: discovered by Mr William Slingsby in 1571, it was described by Edmund Deane in "Spadacrene Anglica" in 1626. The original well-cover was replaced by the present pavilion (circa 1807-8) which was transferred from the site of the Old Sulphur Well in circa 1842 when the Royal Pump Room was erected. Circular pavilion with modern fibreglass dome resting on a stone colonnade. Tuscan Order of 12 columns, the bases of 6 columns stand on the plinth, the other 6 are shortened to rest on a pedestal. The former wall infill with doors and windows of circa 1842 has recently been removed. A modern concrete cover seals the top of the old well.
