Holy Well / Spring in Wiltshire

Although never a holy well, Broadwell was an important water source for Market Lavington up until the late 1950s, some 20 years after the town got a mains water supply. Along with the nearby Northbrook Well it was the main water supply for the village It is located in the heart of the village and is now a rather neglected wide pool next to a recreation ground. Quite sad really, but can be nice to visit during school hours when it is a little quieter!

    Interesting inscription, quotations from the Book of Revelation and something else - as I'm drawing from memory I cannot remember - but this suggests it was felt to have holy qualities, even if it knew no outright healing miracles or whatever.
