Found just by the roadside of Husseywell crescent is this delightful find of an ancient well. The spring arises in a circular basin set into floor level and enclosed by some ancient stones like a small megalith. It looks an ancient site and surprising to find it surviving in a modern suburban setting.
Its waters were thought medicinal and much renowned. It takes its name frolm a 19th Century Rector and a repairer...but it is much older.
