The well is known locally as Micklewell.
The well is situated near the present village hall, but isn't easily possible for the public to view the well, as it is behind a brick wall with a locked gate due to the unsafe nature of the water. The local Parish Council has recently made attempts to gain funding for renovation work but as far as I know it fell through.
Pastscape has this to say:
"A holy well known since medieval times situated on the north side of the village street to the east of a cottage whose walls form one side. The well was built over in 1947 when a district water shortage caused the local authority to erect pumping apparatus over the spring but this apparatus has now been dismantled. The well is now located within a recess enclosed on the south side by a high wall and is no longer in regular use."
