At its junction with Chipstead Lane. Since the names Monkswell and Mugswell, to Monkswell Lane leads, are so similar, it might have been thought that the village name is a corruption of Monkswell. In fact Mugswell is a corruption, but not of Monkswell but of St Margaret's Well (originally shortened to Magswell), which still exists, in the garden of the Well House Inn (see Image). These houses in Monkswell Lane are an isolated group, in what is otherwise open countryside.
