There is a tradition that Wateringbury market, granted c 1310 by Edward II, was held in a place called Chart Garden near Pizien Well. The area or Manor of Chart is now woodland. In the woods and neighbouring lands are several draw wells and the remains of at least 15 dwellings were seen in the late 18th century. A 17th century map of Pissingwell, now usually spelt Pizien Well, shows single storey cottages with chimneys and chimney caps. The stones from these buildings were probably used on local farms. The Dumb Borsholder of Chart, an ancient staff of office, belonged to the Manor of Chart. In 1959 it was reported as hanging over the south doorway of St John the Baptist, Wateringbury. The staff was made of wood, just over 3 feet (91cms) in length, with an iiron ring at the top and 4 more on the sides. It was completed by a square, iron spike at the bottom and was used to break down doors. At the end of the 19th century the borsholder appointed by the Quarter Sessions claimed liberty over the whole parish of Wateringbury.
