Additional Info
The Maharajah's Well was constructed in 1864 and was a generous gift from the Maharajah of Benares (now Varanasi) in India. The Maharajah, inspired by his English friend Edward Anderdon Reade, who had been the Lieutenant Governor of the North-West Provinces in India, wanted to reciprocate the kindness Reade had shown to his people. Reade had initiated the digging of wells in India to provide clean water, a gesture that profoundly impacted the Maharajah. In return, the Maharajah funded the construction of the well in Stoke Row, a village that had faced water scarcity challenges. The Grove is positioned directly opposite The Maharajah's Well, that holds significant local importance, not just for its location but also for its deep-rooted connection to the well's modern era. During extensive renovations of the well and cottage during 1979-1983. The builder & construction was undertaken by M.C.Robins, who’s family have owned The Grove since 1977 (47 years) and operate from its outbuildings / workshop to this day. For The Grove, living opposite the Maharajah's Well, is not only about the scenic beauty of Stoke Row but also a daily reminder of the village's historical significance. The well, with its ornate iron canopy and elephant weather vane, stands as a monument to generosity and the enduring power of friendship across cultures, linking a small English village with the grandeur of Indian royalty.
