Right beside the A1074, by the Costessey turn, in a brick enclosure sits a rather decorative, if sealed, brick and flint well-house incorporating a low brick arch over a stone trough; above this is a brick obelisk topped with a stone urn. Nothing about this indicates the nature of the monument as a well apart from a substantial iron wheel still mounted on one side, presumably once part of the gear for raising the water. The name is unexplained; although there was supposedly a well in Taverham parish marking one of the spots where the body of local saint Walstan headed on his way to his final resting-place at Bawburgh, it’s not necessarily identical with this site.
