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.

St Farmin's Well submitted by HeronEye : Site in County Durham England A picture showing the well prior to any restoration - and looking markedly better than it does now after the project to restore it! The 'derelict' well site in early summer 1998. Not my picture. Taken from this website http://archive.is/zuWMD Thanks to the unknown photographer. (Vote or comment on this photo)
