AJHL visited on 21st Sep 2024 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Nice well but lacks character due to modern well head
Associated with Edward the Confessor who became the first 'patron saint' of England. He is believed to have had a hunting lodge in the site. One presumes that the water had healing powers but the present structure would prevent access. It is located in an area called Jacobwell which may indicate an alternative name in the Sutton Park estate near the catholic church.
Now the well, with a more modern well-house, stands within the grounds of the church of St Edward the Confessor, and can be accessed via the graveyard.
