Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Kent
Nearer to Cliff’s End than Minster, the well is sited on the 17th fairway of St. Augustine’s Golf Course.
Having asked permission from the professional, I followed the tree line to the left of the clubhouse, conveniently marked by a mud track. About a quarter of a mile along this track the well became visible across the practice track.
Keeping a wary eye for golf balls I crossed to the well, which is nicely maintained, but has more the look of a water hazard than a historic sacred site. The water emerges from a pipe in the bank into a large pond adorned with water plants, and draining into a stream.
