Holy Well in Lincolnshire
Near the old Church is a spring called the Holy Wells and indeed it may have caused the site to be built here. Although there are two springs here the lower one is that recorded being the said site. Local historian Street (1887) notes that:
“I have known of persons resorting to the spring, and applying the water to the diseased eyes of children for sanitary purposes”.
It fills a rough hewn circular basin and those flows out of a hole near the top forming a small stream. The water was used domestically in later years. The spring lays on private land but the owner will give permission.
