What is recorded here
St Alkmund's Well, Derby is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
St Alkmund's Well is associated with St Alkmund, an 8th-century Mercian saint and former king, venerated for his miracles and connection to the region. The well, like many holy wells linked to saints, was likely a site of pilgrimage and healing in medieval times, though specific cures or rituals connected to it are not well documented.
