The Well
The well is known as St Mary's, Lady’s Well or Ladywell, and can be found to some 200 yards above the church. It is noted for its healing properties for the eyes and curiously its echo!
NB we do not advocate the use of any wells featured on this site and cannot vouch for their alleged qualities.
