Keward Brook
The modern houses are a very recent addition. In the pre-war period the brook ran to Keward House and Mill, of which the latter is now replaced by a small industrial park. However, in the more distant past this spot held a much more serious significance. See

A quiet spot by the brook
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.
