The 19th Century Well
A new well was sunk when the village was rebuilt to the West of the Church in the early 19thC.
This was over and underground stream that provided another shallow ell in the adjacent Pinfold.
During WWII, the village post office was situated in a cottage on Well Lane, run by the village smith, Mr Scurrah; (on the left hand picture), he can be seen at work on a wrought iron gate. The gentleman walking up the lane is thought to be Mr. Seaman.
On the other picture (right) is the present view of Well Lane, with the workshop replaced by a garage and the cottage by a modern house.
