Holy Well or Sacred Spring in East Sussex. Shown on the 1878 OS map, the spot is now occupied by a house called Spa Grange on St. Helens Road, just to the north of Alexandra Park.

The spa is noted as having been chalybeate, and a spring in the park (no name known) had plentiful iron stains around the outlet pipe.
