Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Leicestershire and Rutland

By the road side in a smal copse along Stonton Road towards Stonton Wyville ( and not far from King Charles Well ). This spring arises and fills a number of small ponds. There is evidence of some old brickwork where it arises beneath a tree.

I found some possibly useful information from https://www.eastlangtonpc.org.uk/uploads/neighbourhood-plan-submission-version-1.pdf.
"The parish of East Langton is in the corridor through which Anglo-Saxon
settlement of the midlands and north spread: from Europe, through East
Anglia, up the Welland valley to Medbourne, then over the hills toward
Leicester, in about 500 AD. The first Anglo-Saxon settlement locally was
probably on the future site of Church Langton, because this is where, soon
after 720 AD, an early Christian church was built, at what must have been an
older British site close to the sacred well of Anu (now St Anne’s well). This
Langton (‘Langton’ is an Anglo-Saxon place-name) became the centre of a
large pre-Conquest estate comprising all four modern Langton civil parishes.
