Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Herefordshire

The spring arises in a stone lined pool covered by a large slab. It is named after a 5th century missionary prince who was killed by a rival in love. When his body neared the river his body became too heavy and he was buried near the river presumably near the spring which is found by the footpath the opposite side of the river from the church.
