This was tricky to find and at first we took the wrong turning and ended up having an impromptu tour of some 400 year old Alms houses by a local that left us thinking that 400 years ago they treated the poor better than they do today! But at last we found the Well; this is The Devils Whispering Well. Loads of folklore surrounds this one, from it obviously being somewhere to talk to the Devil to it being somewhere that Witches in the Middle Ages were walled up in it and it’s those lost souls that you can hear whispering. The position of the Well is certainly different, in most you find the water straight in front of you but this one is off to the side, this could be because it’s a cursing well so if you’re in there cursing your neighbour nobody can see you. Interestingly its one of the few Wells locally that wasn’t commandeered by the church like most were.
