WATER WELLS AND PUMPS IN SULGRAVE
(Back to Chapter 2 Index)
Ther are a great many springs in the area which have been piped and used, especially in the farms.
The village was only completely connected to the mains after the 1939-45 war, so many houses had to rely on their own or communal wells.

Many houses had inside pumps.
It is interesting to note that The Windmill never had a well because it was not lived in. The miller lived in the water mill, which is now called Mill Hollow.
