What is recorded here
St Ambrusca's Holy Well Crantock is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
St Ambrusca's Holy Well in Crantock is associated with the local tradition of seeking healing and blessings, particularly for skin ailments and general well-being. The well, like many in Cornish holy well tradition, may have pre-Christian roots and was likely Christianized in association with a local or regional saint, though detailed historical records on St Ambrusca are scarce.
