Came across this peculiar sandstone structure while running through Heathwaite on the way back to Swainby. The lintel over the dilapidated door is carved “Harpley’s Well 1880”. Opposite Harpley House on Holgate Lane. It seems such a shame that the well has been neglected. I have no idea who Harpley was.
Out and about — on the North York Moors, or wherever I happen to be.
Rare relic nowadays.
Morning
Do you have the grid reference of Harper’s well

You can zoom out using the little map I included in the posting. Probably the most accurate, but try NZ 487 010
