MenuFice's Well, Devon
Fice's Well is a well near Princetown on Dartmoor, Devon. The well comprises a stone canopy of 2 jambs and a lintel which has been built over a spring. A later circular wall encloses it with a stile opposite the well opening. The lintel of the well is inscribed "I.F.1568". Reputedly the well was erected by Sir John Fitz of Fitzford who with his wife was led astray by pixies in this part of the moor and was rescued from the predicament by drinking water from the spring which had magical qualities. As an act of gratitude Sir John erected the canopy over the spring for the benefit of future travellers. It is within the council area of West Devon (Devon).
