Spring Pool is a picturesque freshwater pool located in Staffordshire, England. Nestled amidst lush greenery and rolling hills, it serves as a haven for various aquatic plants and wildlife. The pool covers an area of approximately 2 hectares and is surrounded by a diverse range of flora and fauna, making it a popular spot for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

The pool itself is fed by natural springs, which provide a continuous supply of fresh, crystal-clear water. This not only creates a serene and tranquil atmosphere but also supports a thriving ecosystem. The water is home to several species of fish, including perch, roach, and carp, which attract anglers from near and far.

Surrounding the pool is a freshwater marsh, characterized by its marsh grasses and reeds. This marshland provides a valuable habitat for a variety of bird species, such as swans, ducks, moorhens, and herons. It is a haven for migratory birds during the breeding season, making it a popular destination for birdwatchers.

Visitors to Spring Pool can enjoy a leisurely stroll along the designated footpaths that meander through the surrounding woodlands. These paths offer stunning views of the pool and its surroundings, allowing visitors to appreciate the natural beauty of the area.

Spring Pool is not only a natural treasure but also an important site for conservation efforts. The local authorities have taken measures to protect the pool and its surrounding ecosystem, ensuring its preservation for future generations to enjoy.

The spire of St Benedict Biscop Church at Wombourne, Staffordshire In 1840 nearly all the then existing medieval church was demolished. The 14th century tower with its recessed stone spire was retained. The 1840 rebuild was itself taken down, and the present fine structure replaced it in 1867 - again retaining the original 14th century tower and spire.
