Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Bewell's Cross is a lost monument which marked the boundary of Bristol. The name 'Bewel' goes back at least as far as 1188, when it is referred to in a charter of King John as one of four points marking the limits of Bristol. The placenames specialist, Richard Coates, suggests that 'Bewell' is probably derived from the Old English for 'bee well' - i.e. a spring or well associated with bees. However, he notes that is just possible that the name represents a pruning of 'Beowolf's Well', given that a Bristolian called Elias or Elys recorded in about 1270 with the surname Beowolf.
