Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Norfolk

A weedy pond on the north side of Calves Well Lane, a trackway running between Beeston and Runton, seems to represent the eponymous spring; it lies in Runton parish but is quite close to the boundary here. The name first appears on the Tithe Map of 1838 but there are names recorded in the 14th century which refer to the same site.
