Visit Notes

Sunday, 4th June 2006

The OS map incorrectly shows the well to be 150m or so south of the church. It is actually in the graveyard. The well house is built to look like a temple shrine, with a high-pitched roof. Steps lead down to the water.

At the entrance to the graveyard there is a large boulder, which is catalogued as a 'holy stone', but I don't know any more than that about it.
