Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Lincolnshire

Winterton’s Holy Well was undoubtedly an ancient one, recorded as the fieldnames as 13th Century Haliuel, possibly having a saxon origin. It was a rag well, rags were left on the bushes. It was apparently recently removed in the last 15 years by drainage as still marked on recent O/S a recent exploration did not reveal anything. Its water was medicinal and petrifying water. The late Mr. Joseph Fowler, of Winterton, who was born in the year 1791, remembered people who had seen rags on the bushes near, but whether he had observed them himself is not quite certain.
