This is all that is now visible of this important pilgrimage site, set in a small wooded valley in south Bristol - see Image Once there was a chapel and a more substantial wellhead in mediaeval times, which was one of the country's most venerated holy places. Many notables worshipped here, including Henry VII; today it is now a suburb of Bristol, having grown and swallowed the parish in the twentieth century. See http://people.bath.ac.uk/liskmj/living-spring/sourcearchive/fs4/fs4cl1.htm for a detailed description of the well and its history. See also Image] for a look to see into the waters.
