This well arises in a circular stone basin in the corner of the churchyard. This isolated church is associated with St. Gilbert founder of the Gilbertines, his father apparently constructing it. The well itself is thought to be curative and may have had associations with the saint. The water looks a little murky now which may indicate pollution from the farm.
