Chalice Well

A possibly ancient spring that is still ‘dressed’ in the Pagan tradition. But, its name is said to indicate it is the resting place of the Holy Grail or chalice and that is was brought here in biblical times by Joseph of Arimathea while on a trading voyage. Altogether now, ‘and did those feeeeeet…’.

It is true to say there is evidence of trade of goods and materials across such distances historically.

The well itself, or the source of the spring that feeds it may well have been of significance since long before.
