Holy Well / Spring in Lancashire. A headless statue of Peg stands beside the well. The statue is probably St Margaret.

The well stands on private land close to Brungerley Bridge.

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) also features as page for this sacred well - see their entry for Peg o’ Nell’s Well, Clitheroe, Lancashire, which gives directions for finding the site, together with a photograph, an image of the 1884 showing the location of the well, and local folklore.

The Journal of Antiquities also includes a page for this well - see their entry for Peg O’Nell’s Well, Waddow Hall, Near Waddington, Lancashire, which includes a photograph of the well, a drawing of the statue of St Margaret at Waddow Hall, a description of the well, local folklore, plus a list of reference material and related websites for more information. The Journal adds: "(this site) is probably a pre-Christian spring".

This is right beside the river on private land owned by Girl Guide Association, though a public right of way goes through the grounds, but not to the well. It is below Waddow Hall, with a fence around, not easy to get right up to, but very near. There should be public access, maybe if you ask permission when no Guides are camping there.
