St. Peter's Pump
St. Peter's Pump submitted by KiwiBetsy : St Peter’s Pump with view towards the National Trust’s Stourhead Garden sheltered by the trees in the distance. The site can be accessed from Stourhead Garden where it sits up the valley at the head of the series of lakes. It could also be reached from the road near King Alfred’s Tower where it can be glimpsed through the roadside trees. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Wiltshire.
St. Peter's Pump once stood on the corner of Dolphin Street and Peter Street in Bristol.

It was originally erected in the 1470s and stood above St. Edith's Well. The building was removed in the 1760s and placed on a Gothic base in the gardens at Stourhead. Interestingly, the relocated 15th Century structure was placed over an exististing shaft well.
