This is great stuff, thanks for sharing and welcome to TMA.

Although there is a healthy dose of scepticism about whether a lot of UK "holy wells" fit in the remit of TMA (which is essentially limited to sites with a pre-Roman date) due to the age of the well-heads and constructed well chambers, many of them are almost certainly older springs and outflows that have been turned into wells later.

Personally I like seeing them on here, especially if they have some interesting folklore associated with them. You can add folklore to existing sites via the "add folklore" option in the drop-down on the site pages.

Goffik is yer man for wells, although he doesn't post here very often now.
