Cross, Condicote An attractive village in the centre of an area rich in history and historical remains. "On the western side of the green is a spring marked by a cross of which the basethree steps and a socketsurvive from the late 14th century. A new shaft and finial-cross were added in 1864. The finial-cross was later destroyed and was replaced in 1888 by one from the western gable-end of the church. The reputation of the spring as a holy well is thought to be a possible cause for the location of Condicote Camp. Certainly the spring made possible the settlement of the village, whose chief supply it was until the mid-20th century. Beneath the base of the cross, perhaps contemporary with it, was a cistern or dip-well, which by 1868 was fitted with a pair of doors. The supply was evidently then in some danger of contamination, and before 1926 the cistern was sealed off and a pump took its place. From before 1700 until about the mid19th century the spring filled a pond on the south side of the green. By 1882 the pond also was replaced by a pump, and a pump still marked the site in 1960. A main water supply, however, was brought to the village in 1937." From: 'Parishes: Condicote', A History of the County of Gloucester: volume 6 (1965), pp. 63-72.
