Keward Brook flows through this spot close to the south of Wells. Its peaceful nature belies the darker facts. The monument bears a plaque recording the fact that in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries this was once a place where the guilty would have been hanged, drawn and quartered or burned at the stake.
