The Well House Inn, Mugswell
The Well House Inn is named after the main feature of the gardens, St. Margaret's Well. The well is apparently mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. It is still actively used to this day The Environment Agency constantly monitor the level of water in the well and we understand from them that it is the primary monitoring site for the whole of South London and the south-east of England.
The buildings which make up the present pub, originally three cottages, are believed to date from the mid 1560s.
During the first half of the last century the buildings became tea rooms. In 1955 Bass bought the property and converted it into a public house.
