St Peter’s Well is located in St Peter’s Well Lane near the church of St John the Baptist (which used to be St Peter’s) in Bradworthy.
The well gives the impression of being forgotten as it sits in a hedge bank in a back lane of Bradworthy …. well, almost forgotten but not by the elderly gentleman who not only knew it’s location but, despite considerable difficulty in walking, insisted on accompanying us to the well. It was used as a water supply in the past and water still runs from it and into the lane. The door is locked and an ageing metal plate proclaims it as “St Peter’s Well”.
