The
Lady Well was in Ladywell Road, west of the
Ravensbourne.
It had probably been a holy well dedicated,
like the nearby church, to St Mary the Virgin.
The first known record of it dates from1592.
It supplied water to the nearby dwellings
until the building of a sewer in Ladywell
Road in 1855 caused it to run dry.
