Freeman's Well (Alnwick)
-
Description
Freeman's Well is marked on the first edition 6-inch Ordnance Survey of 1866. It may be associated with the legend that when King John got stuck in a bog on Alnwick Moor he withdrew the town's charter; the decision was rescinded on the condition that every burgess to acquire freedom should plunge into the bog on 24th April (the royal charter anniversary).... -
