St John's Well
Sheepdog Trials
which were restarted in 1977 celebrate their 30th anniversary
this year
The Gospel Well off Ridge
Top Lane is within a circular wall in a field on the left and
cannot be seen. Tradition has it that the early Methodists in
the 1770's preached in the open air near this well. Until the
1930's water from the Gospel Well was laid on to the Chapel and
was found very useful, unfortunately it had to be disconnected
as it was causing corrosion of the pipes.
As the Gospel well site
is not accessible the dressing is placed outside
St John's Church in the car park
