Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Surrey
Associated with Edward the Confessor who became the first 'patron saint' of England. He is believed to have had a hunting lodge in the site. One presumes that the water had healing powers but the present structure would prevent access. It is located in an area called Jacobwell which may indicate an alternative name in the Sutton Park estate near the catholic church.
