Heritage listing

Details EXTERIOR: the memorial takes the form of an open shelter or shrine of half-timbered construction with panels of red bricks in basketweave and herringbone patterns. Situated on a three-stepped stone base, the memorial is in a Tudoresque style with a tiled roof. The two side walls and the open front are protected with iron grills fixed to the main timber uprights, that to the front in the form of a double gate. On the front gable hangs a timber cross and above the entrance gates is inscribed THE WELL OF SACRIFICE in red painted Celtic-style lettering. On the rear elevation is a stone trough forming part of the stone base. INTERIOR: an integral timber seat is located in the interior and a timber panel inscribed with the roll of honour of both wars in gold lettering hangs on the back wall. A small brass tablet to the bottom left of the wooden panel records the Well of Sacrifice and its rededication date. A dedication spanning the four sides of the shrine is inscribed A WELL OF/ WATER/ SPRINGING UP UNTO/ ETERNAL LIFE in red and gold painted Celtic-style letters.
