St Edith's well Legend has it that St Edith herself carried water for mortar for original church.  When she became exhausted a well miraculously sprung up nearby.  St Edith's well still exists, with supposed healing properties, although now guarded by these railings, reputedly installed because the nearby residents got fed up with visiting pilgrims!
