The shiny iron railings are part of the landscaping work that took place in the late 19th century when the well and chapel were 'rediscovered' by the vicar of Sancreed. I supposed the remoteness of this site meant that the railings weren't taken for the "War effort" as in so many other places in the U.K.
Behind the ferns is a large rectangular moulded fragment of a doorway which has been reused as a footbridge over an overflow channel from the well. The holy well itself in down seven steps in a granite chamber, lost in shadow on the right of the photo. The May tree above is still well hung with clouties. |

(2006-09-02) | This is a lovely shot, with a touch of the 'Rousseau's about it! |
