Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Lincolnshire

Found beside the road is the famed saltwell a chalybeate spring thought to have healing qualities, although recent analysis showed it lacked iron. It arises in a strange trunchated beehive shaped well. It was first noted in 1226 and has never known to run dry.

Salt Well (Grange)
Salt Well (Grange) submitted by Anne T : With night almost upon us, and very boggy ground between us and the tree, from the photograph on the Old Cumbria Gazetteer site, the well housing should be located next to this tree. I'd like to visit in daylight to see if we can find the old well with its salty water. (Vote or comment on this photo)
