Map of St Anthony's Well location
St Anthony lived in the 4th century and was an Egyptian of Christian parentage. St Anthony's Well is covered by a square stone basin, presumably for baptising the converted. There are two other springs, to the north and the south about 50 m apart. The yield was 200,000 gallons a day in 1922 and was said to heal skin deseases and sore eyes. To do this it is necessary to visit the well nine times at sunrise during May and wash the skin. Most likely the well was a ritual site for a very long period of time. In the area around the spring prehistoric flint implements have been found, also Roman and Iron Age artifacts.....On this page you can find places of interest in Cinderford England.
