What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Medieval holy well known as St Ann's Well, 120m south of Holwell Farm 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.
St Ann's Well is associated with St Ann, the mother of the Virgin Mary, a popular figure in medieval Christian devotion, particularly linked to fertility and childbirth. Holy wells dedicated to her were often visited by women seeking cures for infertility or safe delivery, and the site likely had a tradition of ritual water drawing and prayer.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
