Approximte location of Little John's Well.

Little John's Well or one of the two neighbouring springs (from: Sutcliffe; artist George Hering)

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-04. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-06.

Sutcliffe (1899)^[1] seems to be the first source to mention Little John's Well high on Stanbury Moor. He notes that it and the neighbouring Robin Hood's Well and Will Scarlet's Well are "[h]alf-hidden underground, and fringed with fern and bog-weed". Robin Hood's Well is first mentioned around the middle of the 19th century.
