Part of a series of 11 caches on a walk of about 6.5 miles,starting and finishing in Stow on the wold,the highest town above sea level in the Cotswolds.
Stow was,until recent times, supplied with water from springs below the town,for centuries women and children had carried water with yoke and bucket from the spring on Well lane.Water carts plied between Well lane and the town where the water was sold to the townsfolk at the price of a farthing a bucket.Several systems had been tried to force water up the hill including windmills,horse-mills and water wheels but all failed.In 1871,Joseph Chamberlayne-Chamberlayne,lord of the manor donated £2000 to the town for a deep well to be bored and this was a success.
