The Lady’s Well is located within the private Bedgebury School Estate (school has now closed), and so access is difficult. Although the name suggests a dedication to Our Lady, it is according to local historian Mr. Bachelor, its origin appears to be secular, deriving from Vicountess Beresford who resided at Bedgebury.

To add to the confusion the well was since dedicated to a past Bedgebury School Headmistress. A plaque at the well records this.

OS map records as 'Chalybeate Spring' so may not be ancient. Site previously positioned at TQ34157206 which seems to have been an error - MegP Ed
