Located beside Holy Trinity Church, Tottenham (itself not looking in very good condition), near to High Cross.
Apparently a large stone with characters engraved on it was found when the well was cleared out several hundred years ago, but was badly damaged in the process. It is now surrounded by a temporary fence as is being restored. It is referred to on the accompanying notice as "Old Tottenham Well".
