Holy Well or Sacred Spring in County Durham
"The old Ordnance Survey maps of Bowes show St. Farmin's Well on the path from Gilmonby Bridge to the old mill, about 20 yards before the gate on the north side of the path. "Nothing much was evident from the few pieces of stonework among the vegetation, but the spring which fed it could be seen running into the river further down the bank side" from www.bowes.org.uk.
