Tomleecee visited on 1st Jan 2012 I used to live in Hempsted and visited this site. There doesn't seem to be any of the original well workings inside the structure - it was just a stony floor and old crisp bags inside!

Early 14th Century well house made from Limestone, thought to be built for the Manor of Hempsted. The back of the well houses a stone sculpture of three figures that are now unfortunately worn. Believed to be St Anne, her daughter Mary and an Angel.
The well has been a site of pilgrimage, used as a baptistery,and the water considered to have healing properties
