This well is just outside the graveyard boundary wall and is a small stone structure approached down a few steps; in recent times it was renovated and used for baptisms but is already reverting to an overgrown state. Inside there appeared to be some further steps down to the spring but the water level has submerged these. The church is named after St Rumon who was a patron of Tavistock Abbey to which the church here once belonged. Rumon was a Cornish Saint but his remains were removed to Tavistock in Devon by Ordulf the founder of the Abbey in about 981AD. Rumon was an important Celtic saint and his cult spread tp Brittany where he was patron saint of Audierne. Listed in the Devon Sites and Monuments Register.
