About Tewit Well

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

Tewit Well, also known in its early days as "Tuit" or "Tuewhit", is a spa water well, the first chalybeate source discovered in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England.

After marrying Elizabeth Broad, in 1582 William Slingsby (uncle of Sir William Slingsby) took his new wife on a Grand Tour of Europe, returning in 1594. In 1596 Slingsby discovered that water from Stray, a common in Harrogate, possessed similar properties to that at Spa in Belgium. He named the well "Tewit", after a local word for peewit or lapwing, a bird which still frequently flocks on the Stray common.
