Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Derbyshire
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this holy well - see their entry for Nanny’s Well, Chapel le Frith, Derbyshire, which gives directions for finding this well and related pump, together with photographs, a description and local folklore.
TNA adds: "The site is now an iron pump (plus a slab with a plaque) by the side of Crossings Road, known as Nanny Well Road, enclosed in a low wall along which. The pump no longer works and the well capped but it can be heard and just about seen through a crack beneath ... The site is one of four wells dressed annually since the 1980s in July and the site is blessed."
