What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Holy well in Michaelstow churchyard 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 associated with St Michael, reflecting the dedication of the nearby church, and was likely used for religious observance and healing rituals. Such wells were often believed to have curative properties and were sites of pilgrimage, especially on feast days of the saint.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
