St Hilda's holy well

The National Heritage List for England records St Hilda's holy well 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 Hilda's holy well is associated with St Hilda of Whitby, an influential 7th-century Christian saint and abbess known for her role in the synthesis of Celtic and Roman Christian traditions in England. The well is traditionally linked to healing rituals and was historically visited for its supposed curative properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and general wellness.
