Scarlett's Well
Scarlett's Well is named after a family prominent in the 14th Century. It is known to have been in use in this period from a 14th Century Papal bulla (an official lead seal attached to a pardon from Purgatory in return for payment) found beside the well. Rumours spread that it could cure all sort of ailments and consequently it attracted huge numbers of visitors in mediaeval times which eventually caused so much annoyance that access to it was forbidden for a time. It was suggested in 1600 that its "miraculous" powers were due to the water percolating through a mineral vein.
