This well is dedicated to St John of Beverley, who was born in Harpham, but it may have existed long before him.
It is claimed it tames or subdues ferocious beasts and also has healing properties. It is decorated on the Tuesday nearest 7th of May and a procession from the nearby church to the well takes place.
