The Well Church main building was built in 1908 and designed in the Arts & Crafts Perpendicular style. The church is made from Accrington brick, with sandstone details and a roof of Cumbrian slate with red ridge tiles. The building has a traditional layout, with a north-south axis, including east and west transepts, a northwest tower, a narthex at the north end, and an apse at the south end.

The nave is made up of three bays, with the third bay angled to create a unique shape. It features decorative stonework, arches over the windows, and beautiful tracery in the window heads. The north gable includes a large window with stylish tracery, and below it, the narthex has a carved plaque dated 1908.

The tower at the east end of the narthex has three stages and diagonal buttresses rising above the roof. It includes an ornate stone doorway, a belfry with paired windows, and a high parapet with decorative shafts. Each transept has windows similar to the nave, with a large round window above and a cross at the top of the gable.

Inside, you’ll find a hammer-beam roof, stained glass windows in a simple Art Nouveau style. The church also has a Gothic style dais and desk.
