Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Nottinghamshire
Now surrounded by urban sprawl St. Leodegariuss church is a quiet oasis in this busy area. Sadly, the holy well in its grounds and probably why the church was built is now lost. First recorded in 1409 it was apparently lost some time in the 1800s, when a twelve foot hole beside the porch was filled in with rubble and the site used to house the boiler. However, this was constantly being filled up with a depth of three foot of water, which had to be removed regularly by pumping. The hole it was then realised was the holy well, Morrell (1988) in his work on Nottinghamshire holy wells states that it arose again due to heavy rains in 1987.
