What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Holy well 80m east of St Just Church as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Linked to St Just, a 6th-century Cornish saint, the holy well is traditionally associated with cures for skin ailments and general healing. Local folklore suggests that the water was once used in rituals to purify and protect, with offerings sometimes left at the site.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
