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...

Nun's Well (Cannock Wood)

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.

Ipstones tympanum
Date Added: 27th Sep 2015
Site Type: Early Christian Sculptured Stone
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Would like to visit
Ipstones tympanum submitted by astronomer on 29th Dec 2009. The Ipstone tympanum contains several devices, the elaborate scroll-work and the knotted tails of the beasts that suggest a Saxon origin with Viking Northumbrian overtones. There is a similar, early Saxon, carving 25 miles away at Breedon on the Hill, Leicestershire. Both Ipstones and Breedon are within the political catchment of English Mercia, whose capital at Repton was contested by the Vikings.

Elder Bush Cave submitted by stu on 23rd Sep 2004. SK0978 5488.
Access to the cave is relatively straightforward. Follow the path from Thor's Cave round to the back of the hill. The cave is quite high on the crags. Look for a lone Elder bush, the cave entrance is below and a little to the side of the bush.
