Fast flowing water fills a very battered trough by the roadside which may need to be cleared of folliage to be seen easily. These waters are thought to be curative. It is said to have been where a soldier from the nearby battle of East Stoke 1487 drank its waters and may be buried here with a willow staff through his body according to a local person I spoke to. The village is not far from the battle site. Clearly, it has a longer history and was seen as healing source to the poor soldier.
