Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Yorkshire (North)

Attractive old well situated on the right hand side of the gorge leading down to the coble landing in Filey. Can be accessed from the road or from steps leading down from the footbridge across the gorge. Close to the parish church but no direct information suggesting it may have been sacred.
