Cheryl Straffon (in Fentynyow Kernow) was delighted by Lady Well when she first encountered it, surmising it to be “clearly a early pagan site.” The fact that this old baptismal well has a dedication different to the local church, would tend support Straffon’s impression. The waters seep out from the structure rather than gather into any depth of pool.
Access Lady Well is in fact on private land, but the landowner has put in no fencing between the footpath leading up from Crafthole and the field where the well sits.
Travel east out of Sheviock on the A387. After taking the very first turning right, stop almost immediately by a gate to your right. The well is through the gate and up the hill, past a quarry and in the north east corner of that plot of land.
