St Plegmund's Well is a small stone structure located near Bankfield Farm in Cheshire, representing a medieval or early modern water source associated with local ecclesiastical tradition. The well is constructed of stone and remains a modest but notable example of a devotional or practical water feature from the medieval period. The site's dedication to St Plegmund, the tenth-century Archbishop of Canterbury, suggests a connection to local religious observance, though the physical structure itself likely dates to a later medieval period.
