Rowland G.M. Baker, in “Holy Wells and Magical Waters of Surrey”, published in Issue 1 of Source Magazine, in March 1985, mentions a spring at Coldharbour on Lingfield Common, the stoup of which was incorporated into St. Peter’s Cross on the village.
I visited in March 2006, and entering the network of paths by the church found a large notice showing the area. The entrance next to Coldharbour Farm was labelled St. Margaret’s Gate, which sounded promising. I made my way to the farm – approaching Lingfield Common from the north, I passed the Hare and Hounds pub on the left, then took a small drive to the right, immediately before the turning for the Farm Shop. After a few hundred yards I took the fork to the left, which led to Coldharbour Farm on the right. On the left was a stile leading to the footpath network, and beside it a glade containing a large boggy area.
