What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Holy well 480m north west of Beaford Mill 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.
This holy well is traditionally associated with Saint Pancras, a Christian martyr venerated in parts of England. Locally, it was once visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin, and may have been the site of ancient pagan water worship practices before Christianization.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
