Drake's Well, Lawshall Green

The Drake family lived at Thorne Court, and they worshipped at Lawshall Church, driving along the private road from Thorne Court to Lawshall Green.
When Charles Frederick Tyrwitt Drake died and was buried in Jerusalem on 23rd June 1878 the family had the well dug and a handsome cover was put over the well.
