Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Nottinghamshire
Tuxford’s Holy Well waters were said to be good for rheumatics and scurvy The well was said last to be in use in 1922 but is now lost, there is just some water arising roughly where old maps show it but it fills to be filled in. Its water was said to fill a Roman bath house but this theory is not supported by any archaeology. Indeed, there was a victorian bath house is marked on the 1887 map not far from the footpath beside the railway. The area where the bath house was located is still enclosed but overgrown. The well's water was also taken to the Fountain, but there is no evidence there.
