Scheduled monument

What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Holy well of St Cuby, 25m south west of Brookfield 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 Cuby, a 7th-century Cornish saint associated with healing and water cures, the well was traditionally visited for its supposed medicinal properties, particularly for skin ailments and general wellness. Local folklore suggests that St Cuby founded a hermitage in the area, and the well became a site of pilgrimage and devotion in early medieval times.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
