If you follow the path by the wall westwards from the entrance off Belle Vue Terrace, you will reach the ninety nine steps leading to a footpath up to St Ann's Well.
At the foot of the steps there is a small plaque which records:

CS Lewis 1898 - 1963, Scholar and Author
Cherbourg House School Malvern 1911 - 1913
Malvern College 1913 - 1914
The Malvern Hills reminded Lewis of the Mourne Mountains at home in Ireland.

A gas lamp appears in his story, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe.
