Full Description
{1} The well occupied the western margin of the medieval and later town. Other modern place or street names hereabouts refer to water and it is speculated that the name Scarlet Well may originally have derived from dyeing, tanning or other related activity. It may be located by a small rectangle shown on the 1st edition Os map. No visible element of Scarlet Well is any longer visible but there is potential for buried remains.
