According to the information board adjacent: "The Holy Well is a scheduled Ancient Monument and a Grade 2 listed building. It is reputed to have been used by monks in this area - hence the Holy Well. An early reference to the HALEWELLENE occurs in the Warwickshire Feet of Fines 1206 (ancient records of property transactions). The current stonework was probably built late 18th /early 19th century with further repairs in about 1926. Following the improvement in the water supply to the well in 2004, sympathetic restoration was carried out in 2005-6"
