DeniseNorth visited on 2nd Nov 2020 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 Stunning church and village. A real surprise find, completely by accident, as was going to the pub! A typical Celtic style myth of beheading. St Urith.
The well itself is not the prettiest and consists mainly of a concrete slab encorporating the original stone slab with its basins! Let us hope it can be sensitively repaired in the future.
