Sedgehill Spring
Sedgehill Spring submitted by GailSutherland : The spring. (Vote or comment on this photo)
A natural spring in woodland on the side of Shiplake Hill north-east of Sonning Common. The ornate brick structure features a stone carving of an elephant. It was built by the Knollys family who bought the Blount's Court estate in 1841. It was restored during the 1960s.
