The Virtuous Well was once known as 'St. Ann's Well' and was famous for its cures. It is said to be four springs, three containing iron and each curing a different illness. Its niches held cups and offerings and there were stone seats for travellers. Little is known about the present structure but an inscription on the sundial in the church (dated 1689) seems to indicate that Lady Magdalene Probert was responsible for this. It can safely be assumed that the well had been a significant religious site for many centuries before 1689. Pilgrims to holy wells would tie strips of cloth to nearby trees or throw bent pins into the water, a tradition has survived to the present day.....
