Holy Well / Spring in Wiltshire
Although never a holy well, Broadwell was an important water source for Market Lavington up until the late 1950s, some 20 years after the town got a mains water supply. Along with the nearby Northbrook Well it was the main water supply for the village It is located in the heart of the village and is now a rather neglected wide pool next to a recreation ground. Quite sad really, but can be nice to visit during school hours when it is a little quieter!
