Historic Landmarks
Athelstan Well
One of Boldron's most treasured landmarks, Athelstan Well was lovingly restored by village volunteers in 2007. This historic well is a testament to our community's pride in preserving our heritage.
The restoration project brought together residents who carefully researched and rebuilt this important piece of village history, ensuring it remains for future generations to appreciate.
The Pinfold
The village's historic pinfold (animal pound) gives its name to our beloved community club. These structures were once common in English villages, used to hold stray livestock until their owners could claim them.
Today, the former Methodist chapel that houses The Pinfold Club continues this tradition of bringing the community together, though now for social gatherings rather than livestock!
