Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Somerset. This fine ancient structure still exists over the bridge from the church, at the start of Patwell Lane. However it can often be obscured by a parked car.
Authorities believe that the name derives from St Patrick's Well. The structure consists of a square well house with a distinctive conical roof made of large slabs and an ancient door. This now covers a pump, which can be inspected by making an appointment with the Parish Council.
