All Saints Well
All Saints Well submitted by DavidCWoods : The well has a concrete cap, and an ornate wrought iron frame. Quite nearby, and right next to the church is an old stand-pipe, presumably providing water from the original source. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well in Hampshire. Despite the fact that the well lies in the churchyard next to the road, the site is eay to miss.

All Saints Church is only a couple of hundred years old, and has a strange, unchurch-like appearance. The well is among the graves, and although the church is comparatively recent there is a tumulus shown in the next field, although this was not seen.

Just a caveat: this well was one of a number I identified twenty years ago from map work as being likely holy wells because of their proximity to churches - some are more plausible than others. This particular one I'm very uncertain about now, as the church itself is of no great antiquity (as David points out) and the well, while attractive, has nothing about it that points to any particular sacred significance. The name, especially, has no authority beyond my assumption at that time that all holy wells near churches should bear the same dedication as that church! My apologies for allowing this site to enter the corpus so uncritically.
