Is this a seat? What is it? Some sort of shrine?

It's in the village of Whichford in Warwickshire. It's not near the church. I searched Historic England but it doesn't seem to be listed.

Anyway, you certainly could sit in it if you wanted to. I didn't, I just pulled up for a photo and then set off again.

Looks like a repurposed well house - is that the village green?

Yes, I think it is. Google Maps link https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.0...4!1scIP2LsuhVHkmd_RsM7b0Lg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

Found it - the 2016 image is helpful. Pretty sure it is water related. Masonry looks Georgian with earlier bits reused. It could be that the whole thing is recycled masonry. Surprised its not listed.

Thanks, I've been fruitlessly searching. I never thought of "fountain".
Anyway, it's definitely a seat now, so it's not out of place in this thread.
