Very near to Kenwyn church, beside the footpath that leads to Truro is a spring issuing from the wall. I asked the caretaker to the church and he said there are a number of springs in this area.

St Paternus's Well
Date Added: 8th Aug 2012
Site Type: Holy Well or Sacred Spring
Country: England (Cornwall)
Visited: Yes
St Paternus's Well submitted by KiwiBetsy on 25th Sep 2006. The well has been recently restored and rededicated and features extensively on notices and school projects in the church. We were able to follow a trail through grass to the well as it had been decorated by children from the local school a couple of days earlier. It seems a pity to keep such a fine well locked.

A view from the front of St Ruan Lanihorne Holy Well, it is starting to crumble on the inner walls and there is a lot of sediment on the floor of the well, my wellington boot sank and I had to really pull to get it out so not sure how deep it is.The surrounding area is well tended, although you need to clamber under a wire fence to get in to see it close.
