It is a natural spring that is now overgrown and the source of a small W-E stream, but it is not regarded locally as a holy well. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload: 25 June, 2012

St Paul's Well is associated with St Paul the Apostle, and such wells were often sites of pilgrimage and healing in early Christian tradition. The name "Pollpeasty" may derive from an old English term for a head or spring, suggesting a long-standing local reverence for the water's curative properties.
