Full Description

61474 The site of a spring (known as a well in the medieval period) is located to the north of Glebe Cottages. The site is suggested by glebe terriers and confirmed by the enclosure award. A rundle is a runnell or stream such as still flows from the spring. Blocks of limestone sticking out of the side of the path downstream from the spring are suggestive of a stone conduit constructed to ensure the smooth flow of the stream. The well may have acquired the epithet 'holy' from an association with the Gilbertines. {1}
