Saracen's Well
II
Well. Origin unknown, mid to late C19 setting. Ashlar.
Semi-circular basin is fed by spout in form of Saracen's head;
semi-circular panel above has inscription and finial with
Shirley coat of arms. The Saracen's head is the crest of the
Shirley family of Ettington Park (qv).

returning from the Crusades, and his trophy, a Saracen's head,
fell into the well and was petrified.
