Description
St Hilda's Well, located in the churchyard to the north of the Church of St Hilda, is probably a medieval structure. It features coursed, rusticated stone walls that support a flat slab roof above the spring. An inscription indicates it was restored by Hilda of Grimple Hall in 1912, although the rest of the inscription is illegible. According to legend, in the 7th century, St Hilda, Abbess of Whitby, prayed for water at this site, and the spring has been flowing ever since.
