Yorkshire Holy Wells |
|
||
This Lady Well is located on the wooded hillside above the site of a 13th century Benedictine priory (St Mary's). In the past the stream from the spring also provided a water supply for the nearby village of Nunburnholme. The main spring emerges through the chalky rubble beneath
a large fallen tree branch, and the water collects in a small pool, before
flowing down the hill as a stream to the village. |
Access - A footpath leads to the corner of the wood in
which the spring is located. Condition - Good for a natural spring, but neglected as a holy well. |
