Jaredhardwick visited on 31st Aug 2020 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 3 Access: 4 Found the well at the edge of the field (with bulls). The map pin was spot on! The condition of the site is a bit saddening. The spring is there, but is no longer flowing from the original stone chamber enclosure, which holds stagnant water, and has a dislodged capstone. Wether by erosion, cattle damage, or human intervention, the spring comes out from the ground about 2 meters away, and now seems to have a terra-cotta pipe keeping the hole open. There’s a lot of mud and cow poo all around it, although the water is still running nice and clear. It seems at some point in the past that someone has tried to lay a couple of pipes on the ground to try and direct the flow of water back into the enclosure, but now it just runs past the enclosure and down the hill.
Considering this is on the Castle Howard estate it is remarkably little endorned and has not been housed in a more folly like structure as we find on other similar estates.
