Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Norfolk

It has the benefit of being supremely easy to find, occupying a triangle of greensward in front of the farmhouse of the same name just off the B1145 west of Reepham town. It consists of a weedy pond several yards across, with a fragment of wall on the south side. The name appears on the 1883 OS map.
