‘In times of popery, the people diverted themselves on that saints day with cakes and ale, music and dancing; alms and offering were brought; and vows made : all this was called well worship.’
Thus it would appear to have been a site of some local importance. Easily found on the side of the village pond. It arises beneath a small obelisk into a circular stone lined pool
