Does anyone know what the steps are across from All Saints Church are ? At school we were told that they were a bolt hole for a priest and that the passage led down to the Canal. I contacted All Saints via their web page but they too were unsure what the steps were and said that they had nothing to do with the church ???

On the ordinance survey map c1875 it is a well. Ray.
If you do a search on the forum it's been bought up a few times. I only remember as I used to play round there a child, that's why it stuck in my head. I had all sorts of wild imaginings of what it was back then! I was disappointed to find out it's just an old well ::)

Yep, my Dad who moved to Marple in 1926 when he was six and was a chorister at All Saints told me that it was a well.
