Stock Well

Early-attested site in the Parish of Littleton upon Severn

Etymology

Stock Well, cf. Stokkesbroke 986 (Ric 2) KCD 654, which is probably the stream running between Stock Well and Stock Fm & Stock Hill in Oldbury upon Severn (9supra ). The stream and the well may therefore be named from the latter.
