It takes some imagination to view this as anything approaching a sacred site, but it’s worth mentioning for its sheer scale and attractiveness. It does sit beside the church in Upper Sheringham, and taps springs that rise just above it, so once upon a time there may have been deeper significance to the waters than we see now. Immediately north of the church of All Saints is a large water reservoir, walled with flints, at the mouth of which is a brick arch surmounted by a broken pediment: the water pours gently beneath this into a trough and out via two spouts. ‘ANNO PACIS MDCCCXIV’, reads a date-stone, rather optimistically as Napoleon still had a bit of fight left in him at that stage. The Lord of the Manor at the time was apparently responsible.
