Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Herefordshire

A low stone wall about 8' long by 2' high, set in bank above a hollow, under some young trees, close to the lane beside SS Peter and Paul Church. Visible from the church lane. A small metal spout in the wall discharges water into a shallow pool at the foot of the wall. The whole rather overgrown with vegetation. Locally believed to be a Holy Well.
