Holy Well in Buckinghamshire. The well is about 150 yds. from the church (St. Mary's), down Schorne Lane past the Methodist chapel.
As you can see from the photo, it looks a bit like a road-side sand hopper! Securely padlocked, a local lady said that it was due to be restored. A pump next to the padlocked box may gice access to the water.
Note: Buckinghamshire Council Archaeology Day, Sat, 30 July, including John Schorne's well here, which will hopefully be unlocked
