St Cleer Holy Well - Cornwall

The structure around the holy well was constructed in the 15th Century to allow for a bowssening pool for total immersion. The building was badly damaged in the civil war but was restored in 1864 as a memorial to the Rev. John Jope, for 67 years the vicar of St Cleer. The Holy spring water is said to have cured insanity, rickets and epilepsy.
