St Edith's Well (Church Eaton)
St Edith's Well (Church Eaton) submitted by TimPrevett : Attempted to visit on a passing opportunity, however the well is not accessible from the west. A visit, out of season is required. The only shot I could get was through the hedge, above a deep drainage culvert, overgrown with vicious weeds. The well site remains as a green patch, with what must be some remaining posts of the upright well housing seen in THIS PICTURE from 1928. Another visit awaits... (Vote or comment on this photo)

Speaking with a churchwarden and flower arranger at St Edith's, they said the well has been largely forgotten by the village, and were unsure in what condition it would be found. Also, permission needs to be gained to visit, I think from a bungalow just next to the canalside nearest the well, having left Church Eaton.
