What is recorded here

St Ethelburga's Well at Lyminge is shown and named in a reusable Geograph picture. The saved point is the picture's recorded map point.
St Ethelburga's Well at Lyminge is associated with St Ethelburga, a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon saint and sister of St Hilda of Whitby, believed to have founded a nunnery at Lyminge. The well was historically visited for its supposed healing properties, particularly for women's ailments, and may have been a site of Christian pilgrimage and earlier pagan reverence.
