Poundstock Well
The well opposite the churchyard date is recorded on 19th Century maps and the well house is thought to date from this period. The granite arch around the door is thought to have been re-used from a previous structure. Given the proximity to the church, it's possible that water from this well could have been for "holy" purposes as the recognised holy well is more inconveniently located a half-mile round-trip away in a wooded valley.
