Well, North Yorkshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Well is a small village and civil parish in the Hambleton district of North Yorkshire, England. It is about 4 miles south of Bedale and it is near Snape.
The 'well' of Well is a spring which along with several other springs feeds the beck which runs through the village. It has a small church called St. Michael's.
There are several large houses in the village, photos of which can be seen below.
There is an old school with a school house, although the school has been out of use for a long time the school house has only just been vacated, they are both owned by "The Neville Trust", a charity named after an influential family from the Tudor period. With this is also a small playing field comprising two swings and a small football pitch and as this is rarely used by the children in the village the trust are now planning on selling all assets.
The village still has four Alms houses called St Michael's Cottages with their own chapel.
There is a family run pub called The Milbank Arms which serves hot and cold food and drinks throughout the day.
There is also a Methodist Chapel which holds regular services and a village institute which is used for children's parties, coffee mornings and other village events. Every year in August the village hosts a scarecrow trail in which most of the houses in the village create a scarecrow and give it a name, each house then has a number, members of the public are then given a sheet with a list of names and have to try and work out which scarecrow is called what (CASH REWARD!!!!!)!
