Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Bedfordshire
R.C. Hope's "Ledgendary Lore" mentions a St. Mary's Well in Turvey. I'm not yet sure whether this is the same well, but it is situated in Newton Road, on the way to Newton Blossomville. It was restored by the PCC, and now consists of a pump in a stone arch, covered by a grill.
