Approximte location of Little John's Well.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-04. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-01-02.
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.
