Full Description
Holy well or sacred spring. The present now dried up fountain head of brick and stone arch was erected by the first Countess of Stradbrooke. It was probably dedicated to our lady and once had a cup attached to drink the water. In 1833 the 'Lady's Fountain' poem by Agnes Strickland was written about the well (S1).
