St. John's Well (Buckinghamshire)
St. John's Well (Buckinghamshire) submitted by DavidCWoods : As can be seen, the site has some ancient trees and a small dip below the well cover. This would presumably have been a pond when water was flowing. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Buckinghamshire. I started from St. Faith’s Church in the village and followed the road back towards the A421. The second turning on the right is Green Lane, now part of a modern housing estate. Some distance up the road a fence blocks the way, and just before this a small green on the left has a number of trees, two of which at least are much older than the surrounding houses.

Beneath the trees is a dip and on the edge of this is a concrete slab which apparently marks the site of St. John’s Well.

St. John's Well (Buckinghamshire) submitted by DavidCWoods : A strange juxtaposition of the old and the new. At least the site survives, although it would be nice if it were to be recognised by some sort of notice giving some history. (Vote or comment on this photo)

St. John's Well (Buckinghamshire) submitted by DavidCWoods : Looking somewhat forlorn, it is perhaps strange that the well's dedication is different from the local church. (Vote or comment on this photo)
