What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records St John'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 John's Holy Well is associated with St John the Baptist, a popular patron saint of wells and healing in Christian tradition. Such sites were often believed to possess curative properties, particularly for ailments of the eyes and skin, and were visited on St John's Day (24 June) for rituals and offerings.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
