yes, I think there's something about the springs in Phil Quinn's 'Holy Wells of the bath and bristol region' book.
'Thrub'well sounds like it should be some kind of noisy drumming well (like St Alphege's seems to be, near us, Moss) but perhaps it's not - it's a good word though.

There must be some grand views of the surrounding hills from Winscombe vale.

I'm adding them all to me (mental) list! Blimey - this link between springs/wells and sacred places is getting stronger, isn't it?
