Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Kent

Our Lady’s Well associated with the crumbling ruins of the Chapel of Our Lady popularly involved in the strange incident of the Holy Maid of Kent, Elizabeth Barton, whose proneness to fantastic illusions, attracted great numbers of followers, angered by Henry VIII's split from Rome. Frightened of any connection with Rome, or power she may hold over the peasant folk, she and her collaborators, local monks, were hung at the Tyburn in London.

The remains of the chapel judging from early engravings, has degraded considerably over the centuries, and sadly all that now remains are three walls with traces of Romanesque archways. A large water cress covered pool, lies beside this. This was the pool used by the pilgrims visiting the Chapel. However, below this is a spoon shaped stone lined chamber, which appears to be a well. Although much of it is filled in, and dry, one can envision, a series of steps flowing down to the stone-lined circular pool. Its remote location suggests perhaps the chapel and well note a more ancient structure.
