Re: Jacobs Well by Andy_Norfolk on Sunday, 12 April 2020

This is St Edward's Well.

This from the HER

The old manor house of Sutton, formerly a Royal possession, was in ruins by 1329. It stood near St Edward's Chapel (TQ 00455380) a quarter of a mile from Sutton Place in Manor Field. Traces exist of foundations, encaustic tiles and an old well. (3-4)

The water-filled well is preserved within the N.W. corner of a new walled-in extension to the graveyard of St. Edwards Church. A new stone parapet and steps have been erected around the top and the visible parts of the shaft are lined with stone passing into brick below. The only visible evidence of buildings in the area is a
general scatter of broken Md. roof tile in the field to the W. (5)
