Linked to a local tradition of healing, the Lady Well was historically visited for its chalybeate (iron-rich) waters, believed to have curative properties, particularly for blood-related ailments. The well’s dedication to "the Lady" may reflect a Marian devotion or an earlier Celtic female deity associated with healing springs.
