The Old Well was a public well used by the people in the village until the arrival of pumped water. The 18th century wellhead cover which still houses the elaborate winding gear is a listed building. The well shaft is some 300 feet deep and still exists today. In 2003, the well housing was completely refurbished - see http://www.bansteadhistory.com/well_feature.html
