The Maharajah's Well

Why the elephant and well?

The Maharajah's Well

Well... this unusual well, erected under a gold domed roof, was a gift to the people of Stoke Row in 1863 from the wealthy Maharajah of Benares. People travelled far on foot, horseback and with carts to see, let alone use, this amazing structure. Even today, it is a truly magnificent sight for visitors to Stoke Row because of it's beauty, history and rarity. Set in pretty gardens, it is open to visitors at all times. The symbol of Stoke Row's proud heritage was ideal for our school logo!
