I first came across mention of a holy well in Solihull whilst reading the article *Patchell, P.M. & E.M, _The Wells of Old Warwickshire_ accessed from *http://people.bath.ac.uk/liskmj/living-spring/sourcearchive/fs6/fs6pat1.htm several years ago. After reading other documents about Solihull's history, the only reference to the well came with the endowment of land to fund the 14th century chantry by William de Odingeseles. This land contained the holy well and thus the chantry was known locally as "Halliwell". No documents held by the church give any reference to the well and no-one locally appears to have any knowledge or interest in discovering where it might have been. My husband and**I decided to do some detective work and asked my father in law, who is a soil mechanic, to search out the geological maps of the area to see where the likeliest spot for the spring/well might be. He provided information and we overlaid these on googlemaps. From current tree lines, waterways etc, we think we have identified the place where the holy well or spring might have originated in a copse at the bottom of what we think is a playing field attached to a nearby church school. We haven't yet asked permission to walk over the site yet as we've been chasing our tails dealing with my elderly parents for the past month. Providing the school give us permission to visit the site, does anyone have any suggestions of what we might search for other than boggy ground, masonry etc? Also, has anyone ever come across any information concerning St Alphege's holy well which I might have missed? Sarah **
