Black Prince's Well

Edward the Black Prince is supposed to have bathed at the well for his leprosy.

St Nicholas’ Hospital, originally for lepers, is still standing and accompanied by a church of the same dedication. The well is best found by passing through the village towards the west and, just past the dip in the road, taking the hairpin turn to the left, then a further left turn into the hospital grounds.

The well is sited on the left hand side of the path just inside the gate and is nicely maintained, with a housing surmounted by the three feathers. A few steps lead down to a pond of cool water.
