Holy Well in Lancashire

From Pastscape:

"The well is now disused and covered by a modern concrete slab. An
old stone brough is lying nearby.

There is a local tradition that ROBIN HOOD watered his horse here."

    There is apparently a Robin Hood's Cross somewhere in this area, perhaps close to the well. On Blue Stone Lane the local hostelry is called Robin Hood's Inn!
