Hordernm visited on 1st Jan 1974 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Grew up here. The Old Vicarage housed my play school. Paddled and dabbled in the spring many many times.
By the old vicarage, on Bankwell Lane, lies the Bank Well.
It was considered to be an 'eye' well. A lead figure was discovered in the well sometime last century, thought to be the representation of a fertility goddess.
