Famous grade II* listed spring head on Spring Lane in Horbling. Water rises in a central cistern which in turn feeds three smaller and lower troughs. A plaque nearby reads "In 1711 the constables of Horbling paid £9 15s 5d to Anthony Ashley of Stamford to construct this well and maintain it for 20 years. In January 1998 the wells were restored by E.Bowman & Sons of Stamford at a cost of £5,600 using parish funds and grant assistance"
