Holy Well or Sacred Spring in West Sussex
The "History and Antiquities of Horsham" by Dudley Howard (1836) says that the well was 30 yards from the outer moat of the Sidgwick (or Sedgwick) Castle. The castle ruins are shown on the 1:50000 OS map in the grounds of Sedgwick Park. When visited on 24th October 2004, local residents knew of no way in to Sedgwick Park and the North Gate was marked "Strictly Private", although there is reference on the web to a Sedgwick Park open day.
