John Clare knew and loved this stream:
"I love to see the Beech Hill mounting high,
The brook without a bridge and nearly dry,
There's Bucket's Hill, a place of furze and clouds
Which evening in a golden haze enshrouds."

Nearby is Lippitt's Hill Lodge the mental asylum that once held the peasant poet, John Clare. Run by the kindly Dr Allen, Clare entered as a voluntary patient in 1837. He improved and was allowed to walk in Epping Forest. In 1841, he grew worse and with the help of gypsies, he escaped and walked first to Enfield and then some 80 miles home to Northborough in Northamptonshire. He was then restrained in Northampton Asylum where he died 24 years later.
