Holy Well / Spring somewhere behind the lovely Golden Lion pub in Padstow, the home of the original Obby Oss. It is possibly of note that the streetname here is Lanadwell Street.
Note: Ladywell (aka Lady Well) is described by Pastscape in their record for Monument No. 430935 (at SW 9180 7538) as a possible holy well. The well was in Lanadwell Street, Padstow, described originally as a 'copious spring'. It "is noted as having entirely disappeared".
Note: Does anyone have any information, photographs or illustrations about this well, please?
