We did find St Edith's Well in the end ...and I haven't seen one quite like this before ... but, believe me, we had to battle through some foliage and then there was an iron grate in front of it ... so I couldn't strip off and immerse myself in the water 🤪
Went out looking for #Holywells #springs and #standingstones today ... spent a lot of time climbing gates, puzzling over the OS map, and getting lost in foliage. I do have some pictures of the actual things we found, but not downloaded from the camera yet. My friend, Sara, sent me this pic, and it kind of sums up our adventure 🤣

Another place we visited on our recent trip was the beautiful church in Whitstone. We first visited this over 20 years ago, so it was wonderful to see St Anne's holy well again, with the small stone in the back which is believed to have been carved to depict the goddess Anu.
