Sherbourne Pond

Right I shall try again- forgot to take the pic to below 8mb. Sherbourne Pond dates from the 1600s (later than the Silent Pool) and is indeed fed from the Silent Pool. It was dug out to form a pond to serve some fountains,the grinding of corn,the village of Albury and to irrigate a vineyard. There is a vineyard still in the area today and promotes itself as an "organic" vineyard. I have seen pictures in the past of this pond with a small boathouse but today I could see no sign of it.
