What is recorded here

Holy Well of St. Mary the Virgin is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
Linked to St. Mary the Virgin, the well is traditionally associated with healing and fertility, with pilgrims historically visiting to seek her intercession for safe childbirth and general well-being. The practice of visiting such wells on Marian feast days, particularly May 15th, reflects a blend of Christian devotion and older Celtic traditions.
