St Hildas Well

The village of Hinderwell derives its names from this well in the church yard.

St Hilda was the early Christian abbess in Whitby in the 7th century, and the water is still flowing today.
Restored in 1912 by another Hilda, Hilda Palmer of Grinkle, who I believe is the daughter of Sir Charles Palmer
