What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Holy well near St James' Chapel 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 James, the well was traditionally associated with healing and pilgrimage, with devotees collecting water for sick or ailing family members. The site's connection to the chapel suggests a long-standing Christian tradition, possibly overlaying earlier pre-Christian ritual practices.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
