The Leper Well
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Leper Well submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2007. The Leper Well sits on the south side of Whitehouse Lane between Codsall and Codsall Wood, behind a wooden fence which prohibits access. A visit out of season may tell more of the location, with less obfuscating foliage. Two hawthorns are on the SE side of the well.

The Giant's Well (Kinver)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Giant's Well (Kinver) submitted by TimPrevett on 23rd Sep 2007. The pathetic remains of The Giant's Well on the corner of Heather Drive and Stone Lane resemble a rusted iron urinal and ruined barbeque surround. In 2000 there were moves to have it renovated, but the effort and expense (something like £50,000) were deemed too excessive. The Giant's Well links in with the folklore of the nearby Rock Shelters, Kinver Edge, and the long destroyed Boltstone, which was lobbed by an enraged giant who noticed another flirtatious giant had visited his wife during the...

The Battle Stone (Ilam)
Date Added: 26th Sep 2015
Site Type: Ancient Cross
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
The Battle Stone (Ilam) submitted by TimPrevett on 30th Jul 2006. The Battle Stone - remains of an 11th Century Cross in the grounds of Ilam Hall. For most straightforward access, leave the church with the two Saxon Crosses, left to the river, then before the river turn right for a pleasant walk along its side. The cross is on the right hand side after about 10 minutes walking, as a wide meadow arcs to the left. The cross was not discovered until 1840, and the name, one must suppose, is down to the imagination of those who discovered it.

Log Text: Rather overgrown when I visited. 'Gulliver' and the Cement works formed a contrasting backdrop. Must try to visit it again when the farmer has mown the fields.

Log Text: Descheduled. The earthwork mound reported by Bateman has gone. The natural rock outcrop shows little evidence of use for the funerary deposits recorded by Bateman and Carrington due to quarrying, the wall being built on top of it etc. Due to Bateman's vague description of location difficult to be sure this is the actual site he opened.

St Ruffin's Well (Tamworth)
Date Added: 27th Sep 2015
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...

St Mary and All Saints (Checkley)
Date Added: 27th Sep 2015
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 ...
