Figgy Dowdy's Well
Date Added: 16th Mar 2021
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Couldn't find on 28th Dec 2020
Figgy Dowdy's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 26th Aug 2006. According to RootsWeb.com, this well is also known as Maggy Figgy and Margery Daw and was a popular place to christen your doll on Good Friday. The well has been restored by the Carn Marth Preservation Group and is kept locked as a safety measure. I’m sure Figgy Dowdy would approve of this as the rhyme ….
Figgy Dowdy had a well
On the top of Carn Marth hill
And she locked it night and day
Lest they took her water away
…. is associated with the well.

Log Text: A nice natural spring with "clouties" but someone's plonked a nasty metal gate on top. Normally visited at the same time as Carn Euny settlement but can also be accessed from the road (Access: 4)

Log Text: A battered promontory fort with a very visible ditch and bank and beautiful views. One of my favourite places to stop and sit when walking my dog.
Access from the car-parks (Basset Cove or North Cliffs) is very good now that they have paved the it (suitable for prams and wheelchairs) but the path down to the fort is still narrow and prickly (NOT suitable for prams and wheelchairs).

Log Text: Only room for one car outside the gate, plus a sign warning not to block access to the private gate right next door. Other than that, it's an easy and short walk through a field to the quoit.

Log Text: If you take the first road to the church from the Carwynnen Quoit towards Troon, the Well is just before you reach the monument outside the church. Great parking and very easy to spot. Obviously, visit the Treslothan Cross, outside the church, while you're here.

Log Text: Not a particularly nice position as it's very close to a busy, town centre. Hard to photograph one side as it's quite close to a railing.
Very easy to find. Head onto Trelowarren Street, Camborne's main, one-way, shopping street (limited on-street parking but there's a large car park very nearby). Near the top end there is a small square with a Bingo hall, benches, etc. Go through the square, following Chapel Street, the road perpendicular to the shopping street. The cross is in front of the Methodist chapel, a hundred or so metres on the left-hand side of the street. Earlier on this street, on the right-hand side, is the Camborne Cross.
I recommend parking in the Rosewarne car park for an hour, walking back up to Trelowarren Street. It's then pretty easy to visit the Camborne Cross and Killivose Cross, then walking up Trelowarren Street, across the roundabout to the Church of St Martin & St Meriadoc and then visiting Maen Cadoar menhir/Cross and Ia's Cross (not currently on this site).

Log Text: Not a great position for privacy as it's in the middle of a busy, town centre.
Very easy to find. Head onto Trelowarren Street, Camborne's main, one-way, shopping street (limited on-street parking but there's a large car park very nearby). Near the top end there is a small square with a Bingo hall, benches, etc. Go through the square, following Chapel Street, the road perpendicular to the shopping street. The cross is on the right-hand side in front of one of the first building right after the square, behind some railings. The gate through the railings was bolted but not locked when I visited, so I briefly opened the bolt, took a few quick photos and retreated. If you move further up Chapel Street about 40 metres, you can see Killivose Cross on the left-hand side.

Log Text: Had a nice chat to David Thomas, Cornwall County Council Archivist, about this cross, the Maen Cadoar, North Cliffs and the Basset family. He was waiting for the sun to be at the right angle to highlight the carvings on the cross stem, in order to photograph them for an article. A very nice and knowledgeable man.
