  		Sprague's Wishing Well This old wishing well in Upwey is sometimes referred to as Sprague's Wishing Well. Upwey takes its name from the River Wey. It is as it says the "up" part of the river and also where its source lies. The river begins as an underground spring rising up in the hill behind Upwey Wishing Well. It is believed that Edward's mill was near this location.
  		The Church in Upwey The thirteenth-century church of St. Laurence, Upwey is at one end of the village, somewhat out of the way to the rest of it. This is the church attended by the Sprague family.

Three of their sons immigrated to what was to become Massachusetts Bay Colony and established Charlestown, Massachusetts. They are our ancestors and this is their story.
