Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Bedfordshire. An interesting site and one of the few holy wells surviving associated with a mediaeval bridge, although the present structure dates from the 1700s. Like most sites its waters were thought curative. It appears little known in the village and the access to the well itself is locked at the gate.
