| Mary Magdelene Well - (SE 7228 9040) |
This spring is located at the bottom of a steep
bank that drops away on the north side of the road between Hutton
Le Hole and Lastingham. The spring flows into a small iregular
shaped trough formed by stone slabs. Directly above the trough is
a flat stone which has the words "MARY MAGDELENE WELL"
and a cross, carved upon it. How the well came by this dedication
is not known at present but it is probably part of the Lastingham
group.
In 1956 the Scarborough Archaeological society cleaned out the
well and found several pieces of medieval pottery dating from the
12th century.
| Access - The well is located by the
roadside. Condition - Good, no change since our visit in 1988. |
