Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Yorkshire (West)
The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this healing well - see their entry for Moor Lane Well, Gomersal, West Yorkshire, which shows the location of the well on the 1847 OS map.
TNA include some interesting 'archaeology & history', including details of a local custom called 'Riding the Strang'. TNA add: "The Moor Lane Well was one of the main water supplies for the old villagers in bygone times, but seems to have disappeared under the modern houses.
