St Rumbold's Well

Given the significance of the Saint to the towns history it was disappointing to see this site is a poor state of care. It just doesnt feel cared for and is a forgotten relic tucked in a field with houses been built all around it. Full of litter the stonework for the well has long crumbled. The gated compound still features painted symbols depicting the Saint and the towns coat of arms. The fenced railings appear more interesting than the well itself. The well is now dry but the spring from which no doubt the original well thrived has moved 50 or so metres down the hill and flows through the access gate, creating a muddy and slippery access path.

Not a great deal to see really, but worth a pat on the back for finding it.

Fascinating site of Local History and Heritage. Sad it is being used by yobs. Have visited the place a few times and cleaned it up. Hope there is someone local who will take it upon themselves to make it a site worth preserving. The photo here is after I spent 2 hours cleaning the place , lifting all the stones pushed down into the well, removing all the spent bonfires, huge amounts of broken glass etc. and carrying 3 bags of litter down to the entrance of the park.
