St Kenelm's Spring, Clent
Behind St Kenelm's church in the Clent Hills is a spring and well near where Kenelm, a Mercia king was allegedly murdered around 820AD. Image]
'Now, take St Kenelm's life which I've been reading;
He was Kenulph's son, the nobel king
Of Mercia. Now St Kenelm dreamt a thing
Shortly before they murdered him one day.
He saw his murder in a dream, I say...'
- Chaucer, The Nun's Priest's Tale

Chapel Farm and a tale of two postboxes
Apart from the adjacent Church of St. Kenelm, the farm is the only building in the immediate neighbourhood. The house is dated 1868. There used to be a village here called Kennelmstowe, long ago, but that has disappeared. Possibly it was a victim of the 14th century Black Death, or maybe there was another cause.
In this view you can just make out two red postboxes. One is set into the wall of a farm outbuilding, the other, to the right of the picture, is at the entrance drive to the farm. Only one of these is operated by Royal Mail, so anyone posting a letter needs to make the correct choice! See why:- Image

Don't post your letter here!
It looks like a Royal Mail postbox, and anyone not local and in a hurry might well post their mail here. But this is actually a mailbox for Chapel Farm, and is set into the wall of the entrance drive. It may be a genuine original sold off as surplus to requirements, or it could be a replica, as several companies manufacture and sell these for private use. The design is one used during the reign of George V (1910-1936). There is a notice saying post for Chapel Farm only and also a no collections sign!
There is an official Royal Mail postbox nearby, near St. Kenelm's Church. See:- Image
