Majick123 visited on 5th Aug 2013 Walked up and down Pizien Well Road. Apart form the Mearworth Stream there is another small stream that appears to spring from a nearby Corn Field. I couldn't find any evidence of a well except that it looks like the stream running parallel with the road runs quite a bit underground and even more may have been covered up.
Pizien Well. The well was visited by wedding parties. The bride would drink the water to ensure fertility.
