The word Holy means healthy, coming from the word whole. A saint would have realised, from being educated in a monastery, that this well had good properties and would be beneficial to the locals, whom probably was drinking contaminated water from elsewhere. I wonder if anyone can tell me which saint this well was dedicated to?
Incredible! It`s a naturally occurring spring formed by water moving through the chalk until it hits an impervious layer and runs out at the bottom of the chalk. It`s just that someone chose to put the word "holy" in front of it and suddenly it`s more than a spring.
