Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Greater London
In the heart of sub-urban East London is a record of a holy well noted as Halywellbrooke associated with the bridge which would cross Loxford water, south of Ilford Bridge. The rental of 1456 notes ‘pasture lying at the northern head of Luzias land… near Halywell and… at Loxfordbrigge’ and ‘land in Longlond at Halywellbrooke’.
The site does not appear to have survived but there is a pond there which presumably is fed by a spring. There is no map evidence of the exact location however.
