Holy well of St Mawes, 80m east of St Mawes Methodist Church

The National Heritage List for England records Holy well of St Mawes, 80m east of St Mawes Methodist Church 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 Mawes, an early Christian Cornish saint traditionally associated with healing and protection, the holy well was likely a site of pilgrimage and devotional practices, particularly for those seeking cures for ailments of the eyes and skin. Local tradition holds that the saint founded a church in the area, and the well may have been used for ritual washing or as a source of holy water.
