The so-called Roman Well stands in a field by Rectory Farm.
This imposing but curious structure is surmounted with what appears to be a cross base and shaft fragment . It has been dry for many years but the remains of a ditch runs from the well down the field.
Although the well is certainly not Roman, a Roman settlement was discovered to the south-west of the church.
