St Noyale Well
St Noyale Well submitted by JohnGinny : St Noyale Well (Vote or comment on this photo)
The resting place of Saint Noyale. A leafy green setting beside a small river, and opposite the chapel that bears her name.

A simple, fairly rustic structure that houses a rather gruesome statue of Noyale, holding her severed head.

Well worth a visit.
