Shobrooke Holy Well
Shobrooke Holy Well submitted by AngieLake : The villagers had worked hard to make the Well as colourful as possible with their fruit, vegetable, and bread offerings. Shobrooke Church was also decorated like this, and I don't think I've ever seen such a lovely display at Harvest Festival time. The atmosphere was wonderful.

Shobrooke Holy Well submitted by AngieLake : It was Harvest Festival on this sunny Sunday (18.9.17) and the well had been decorated as well as Shobrooke Church.
