Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Surrey

This is one of the wells dedicated to the saint which lay close to the ancient Pilgrim's Way. Little is known of it, but currently it arises from a pipe set into the bank and fills metal agricultural troughs which does not sound very romantic and it isn't! It can be by taking the bridleway that runs north from Barrow Green Lane which goes over the M25, then over a stile and turn right at the top of the field entering a grate and the well is found in the far corner.
