St Thomas's Well - Winton YHW&SS traced this well to Winton
Manor Farm , although no well or spring appears to be marked on the OS
maps at this location, however 500m to the west the map does show a 'Hallikeld
Bridge' and 'Hallikeld Farm'. The 1850's OS maps also marks a 'Hallikeld
Beck' flowing from a 'Hallikeld' next to Hill House. This
Hallikeld (SE 3943 9637) is located at the junction of 3 parish
boundary's, Northallerton to the south, Brompton to the west and Winton
to the east, with the well being located next to a stream just in the
Winton parish. With the Hallikeld being a location
common to three parishes, Brompton's church dedication to St Thomas may
have been attached to the holy well.
