St Helen's Well, Great Asby

St. Helen’s Well, Great Asby, Cumbria.
This holy well, once believed to have had healing properties, is a spring of fresh water that flows into Asby Gill even during drought conditions. Until the 1940s the well was the village's main water supply.
The Gill itself, is usually dry and only contains water after heavy rain.
