‘Well at Milton Abbas. In February 1989, during the construction of new toilets in the rear extension to the School-master’s House of Milton Abbas School (ST 8083 0199) a well was reported. It was 1 m in diameter, enlarging to 1.20 m on the north side as a result of bucket and rope wear – grooves worn by bucket ropes were very visible. Beneath four to five courses of brick (of the same type as that used in the School buildings) the rest of the well was steyned to its full depth, said to be 25 m. No dating evidence was retrieved. The well would appear however, to be earlier than the School, because of the additional brick courses. If of medieval date its position is strange since the medieval village of Milton lies to the south of the abbey.’
