alchemille visited on 14th May 2020 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 1 Access: 4 It was not even worth a picture, the place is full of brambles and nettles. It was very disappointing. Worth the walk from Kenilworth Castle to Honiley.
"St. Thomas in his edition of Dugdale (1730) inserted a long extract from an alleged court roll of 18 Henry VIII. It asserted that St John's Well was a place of Pilgrimage, 'St. John's bath' and 'our Ladys bath' being used respectively for the cleansing of male and female incontinent penitents.
"There is still a slight issue of water from the indicated site, but only scattered fragments of masonry remain."
