This is in the position, captioned 'Ambry Well', shown on the 1850 six-inch map and 1905 1:2500 map. The house nearby is now called 'St Ambrose's Well'. This name crops up in various places, often shortened as in 'Ambry', and there are schools named after him. However he was the Bishop of Milan in the fourth century, and it seems unlikely that he had anything to do with this well.
