A circular well, 1.0m across and about 4.0m deep is located to the west of Boughton Lees. The well is made of both flint and some brick, the upper part relined with hand-made brick of a later date. The well is disused and rubbish filled. It is alleged that Richard Plantagenet, natural son of Richard III, fled to the area and his burial in 1550 is recorded in the Eastwell parish register: it is suspected that this is where the name of the area originates.
