Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Lincolnshire
Situated just south of the A631 between the villages of Glentham and Caenby Corner, The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this holy well - see their entry for Newell’s Well, Glentham, Lincolnshire.
TNA give directions for finding this well, together with a photograph and a brief archaeology & history and local folklore. TNA add that the site is now enveloped in scrub and a report by Sutton from 1997 states: "An old boy told me about the ‘healing well of Glentham. It was named after a saint but I can’t remember the name he used. Some folk call it Newell’s well. Many people came to take the healing waters and in the spring of the year, the Church held an annual service for ‘good water for the rest of the year’, the service marked a new year of the waters. The well was dressed in a traditional way using clay and flower petals to make some kind of picture, usually a saint. I’m told it look very impressive."
