St Martin's Well is associated with St Martin of Tours, a 4th-century Christian saint known for his role in spreading Christianity in Gaul and his legend of sharing his cloak with a beggar. Holy wells dedicated to St Martin were often visited for healing, particularly for ailments of the skin and respiratory issues, and were traditionally visited on or around St Martin's Day (11 November).
