Full Description
Situated in the garden of a private house built circa 1923, the well head and canopy probably date from the same time. According to the owner of the house the well is marked on maps as old as C17 but there is nothing of this age to be seen in the lining which seems to be modern brick (S1).
Possible holy well site.
