Holy Well / Spring in Cheshire
Just east of Chester, at the east end of Mickle Trafford sits St Plegmund's Well. It's down a no-through road not far from St Peter's Church (where we parked for a short walk back along the lane). Very obvious, and still venerated by clouties, it's a pleasantly surprising addition to the layers of history in the area.
