Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Wiltshire
The current building was erected by the nuns of nearby Lacock Abbey to protect the spring. The water was piped along a conduit to the convent. It is lovely, situated opposite a fascinating country church. Unfortunately, the doors to both are generally locked.
