The well house at Hollinshead Hall is a small building that was constructed to protect the manor's water source. The well itself was dug in the late medieval period, around the 14th or 15th century. The exact date of the construction of the well house is not known, but it is believed to have been built in the 16th or 17th century.
Hollinshead Hall itself was likely constructed in the 14th or 15th century, and was owned by the Hollinshead family until the 16th century. The manor passed through several other families over the following centuries, and was used for various purposes, including as a farm and as a hunting lodge.
During the 19th century, the manor fell into disrepair and the ruins that remain today are the result of neglect and decay. The site was acquired by the Bolton Corporation in the early 20th century, and it is now maintained by the local council as a public park.
The well house itself is a small, stone-built structure with a conical roof. It is located on the north side of the main hall, and is adjacent to a small pond. The well inside the house is around 30 feet deep, and is lined with stone.
Today, the well house is a popular attraction for visitors to Hollinshead Hall, and is considered to be one of the most significant surviving examples of a medieval well house in the region.
