St Mathiana's Well
St Mathiana's Well submitted by theendlessbreeze : I believe this is the holy well of St Mathiana. It is located behind the church at Minster. Unfortunately the flooding of August 2004 has damaged the area surrounding the church. (Vote or comment on this photo)

St Mathiana's Well
St Mathiana's Well submitted by cazzyjane : St Mathiana's Well, situated in the beautiful churchyard of Minster Church, said to be one of the spookiest buildings in the country. It is certainly a very special place and has an atmosphere all of its own. (Vote or comment on this photo)
