Ffynnon Ishow or St. Ishow's holy well near Crickhowell is a pre-Christian spring. In the 6th or 7th century AD the hermit St Ishow or Issui came to live by the spring and imparted his holiness to it's water. However, poor St. Ishow met a martyr's death at the hands of a man he had given sanctuary to. Pilgrims still come to visit the well and leave cross-shaped twigs there. They also place coins in the water - which is still said to be curative. Close by a Maltese cross is carved on a stone. The church up the hill is Medieval in date. Within can be found St Ishow's cell and on the wall 'the figure of doom' which is a painted skeleton that apparently can never be painted over or removed - because it always comes back again. A ley line runs from the holy well up through the church-yard - which is said to be a 'portal in time'.
