Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Warwickshire
St Catherine's Well is a delightful little fourteenth century red stone conduit house which is located on a red stone raised platform. Beside the structure, although not visible from road level, is a small square, dry, well. The site is easily found in Beaumont Crescent off the Holy head Road, but sadly there is a tall fence which means it is difficult to get direct access. Yet as many of the ancient wells of the town have been lost so it is good to find this site still existing.
