Nun's Well (Cannock Wood)
Date Added: 27th Sep 2015
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Nun's Well (Cannock Wood) submitted by TimPrevett on 7th Sep 2008. The site of Nun's Well can be accessed by a permissive path from the north from the car park. It is now sealed off by an old gate, chicken wire, galvanised sheets and earth - right beneath an oak tree. If you look carefully to the north east of the trunk, there is a nook through which you can put your arm and camera, revealing a recessed well housing and the materials which now block it to the front.

St Ruffin's Well (Tamworth)

Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
St Ruffin's Well (Tamworth) submitted by TimPrevett on 26th Sep 2007. If one looks at the map on Defra, the wall behind the raised beds, beneath the balcony, delineates the site and course of the well. Aside from the plaque, there is nothing obvious there to denote a holy well.
The entry on Pastscape strongly suggests the holy well remains within the main fabric of the castle (grid ref SK20620392); however, the castle staff dug in a book, knowing nothing of the holy well when I enquired. The book shows a holy well on the lower terraces in what would have been...

Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
St Mary and All Saints (Checkley) submitted by TimPrevett on 8th May 2007. The three 9th Century Anglo-Scandinavian cross shafts in Checkley Churchyard. One would be fine! A superb group, each around 5 feet tall. The church and churchyard are fascinating. If not open a key is available very nearby - mail me for details. An unusual Saxon font is at the rear of the church, as well as a good guidebook for £2 as of 08/05/07. The churchyard is very nearly completely circled by yew trees, most of them relatively juvenile, but a couple are noticeably larger in girth. On the ...

Yearnslow submitted by Vicky on 15th Dec 2001. Yearnslow, Rainow, near Macclesfield, Cheshire GR: SJ96457695
This interesting bowl-shaped mound (on the horizon in the centre of the picture) is situated on a knoll at 1175ft above sea level close to Yearnslow Farm. It was reputedly opened by some Derbyshire explorers in the 19th when some Roman coins, glass beads, and bones were found in it. Today the mound which is around 19m in diameter and just over one metre in height, is covered by ruined dry-stone walls.
