What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Leechwell holy well, 350m south west of St Mary's 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.
Leechwell holy well is associated with St Mary and was historically visited for its supposed healing properties, particularly for skin ailments and general wellness. The name "Leechwell" may derive from the practice of using leeches in early medical treatments, often conducted at such sacred water sites.
