Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Derbyshire

Local historian Francis Redfern (1886) gives a full account:
“There has been an interesting antique well near the Dove, and known in the last century as St. Cuthbert's Well. After much trouble I think I am able to identify the site of the well at a grove of trees enclosed by a slightly raised circular vallum of earth with an outer ditch on the side of the hill betwixt Doveridge Hall and Church, and almost overlooking the mill house.”

The site of the well was in the park belonging to Doveridge Hall which was demolished in 1938. It was approximately half way between St. Cuthbert's Church and the River Dove. The site is on sloping ground to the west of the church and above the site of the old mill (demolished c.1971). Redfern (1886), states that the well was channeled away and when the drain was being made some stones were found which had the appearance of having been steps. Although there are still some indentations on the ground and there does appear to be a small slightly flattened area on the hill side but there is no well structure.
