Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Essex

This is the most famed site associated with saxon missionary saint, St. Chad. The site was demolished when a lorry hit it and some of the bricks were reused for a monument. A nearby church reconstructed a replica without water. The real well was famed as an eye water. Water arises nearby are said to be from the same spring source.
