What is recorded here

Marked on the 1839 and 1924 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering as ‘St. Margaret’s Well’ on both. It is located in a small marsh with sand-dunes and the sea-shore c. 450m to the SE. The well is a natural pond (diam. c. 8m) but there is no evidence of, or record of, veneration. The parish church of St. Margaret’s (WX033-034----) was somewhere to the E before the sea destroyed it. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 5 September, 2012
