Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Cornwall.
The spring flows strongly from a stone well-house against a house wall down Well Street right in the middle of Callington, and can be accessed by a short flight of stone steps - or could be were it not for the horribly ugly railings that thoughtfully prevent the good citizens of the town from falling in it on dark nights. A plaque informs visitors that the well was once the main water supply and that the well-house was constructed in 1816. The church, large though it is, was until relatively recently only a chapel-of-ease to St Dominic not far away; it's dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which fits in with the old name of the well. 139247
