Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Nottinghamshire

The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this holy well, originally to be found in Wallingwells Benedictine Priory - see their entry for St. Mary’s Well, Wallingwells, Nottinghamshire, which includes an old photo of the well, recent photographs showing it now overgrown and a brief archaeology & history.

TNA says: "St. Mary’s Well is the most ruined. The archway appears to have fallen or been knocked down but the channel or basin the spring flows into still exists. Observation underneath a flattened stone covering the channel show that the spring flows from a pipe further up and under a series of neat brick arches. It is clear that the well structure was never accessible as it abutts onto the Lake, but was designed to be seen from the other side of the Lake. This view now is difficult due to the considerable plant growth obscuring the sites. It is good to see that the well still exists and hopefully the garden could be restored."
