Recorded monuments

• WX037-039 Ritual site - holy well
  Description

  Marked on the 1839 and 1941 eds of the OS 6-inch map and described in gothic lettering on both as St. Nicholas’ Well. It is situated towards the bottom of a steep N-facing slope in a mature deciduous wood. St. Nicholas of Myra, whose feastday falls on the 6th December, was a 4th century bishop in Turkey and a renowned gift-giver, on whom much of the character of Santa Claus is based (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas) (Butler 1990, 175), but there is no record of a pattern.There is now an abandoned concrete reservoir at the location, with no evidence of an ancient well or of veneration.
