Jenny's Well
Jenny's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy : Water flows from a pipe in a curved ornamental wall with ‘Jenny’s Well’ spelled out in pebbles. It is uncertain just who Jenny was but one source suggests that she was a lunatic woman. In the middle of the 20th century, pins and other small gifts were left at the well on the 1st of May.
