Walls to mill leat in the churchyard. Probably 19th century although the leat, known as the Fairwater, is of ancient origin. Local grey limestone rubble. The leat, which runs underground to north and south, is open in the centre and is a picturesque feature of the Churchyard. The origins of the watercourse may be medieval, at one time it powered three mills. In 1879 the ceremony of the Whitsuntide Ram Roast was still being held and was thought to trace back to the annual cleaning of the Fairwater. Date listed: 28th April 1987.
