**Normandy Well (Horsham)** submitted by baruc : The location (behind the wall amongst the trees) of the Priest's House, where the Well was located. (Vote or comment on this photo)

The well was located in the vicinity of the ‘Priests House’ in the row of houses east of St Mary the Virgin Church, known as ‘Normandy’, from which the well takes its name.

Described as an open well, it ran partly under one of the houses and was about four foot in depth. It was reputed never to run dry, even in the longest drought.

The water from the well was used for baptisms in the church.

The area where the Priests House used to be located is now a private car park.
