MenuOur Lady's Well, Gloucestershire
Our Lady's Well (aka Saint Anne's Well) is a 14th-century well house near Hempsted, Gloucestershire. The well house was built in the 14th century for the Manor of Hempsted, which was held by Llanthony Secunda Priory. It is built from Limestone blocks with an arched opening at the front from which water issued into a large stone trough (possibly 18th century but recently reported missing). On the back of the well is a stone sculpture showing Saint Anne standing between the virgin Mary and an Angel. The well has been a site of pilgrimage, used as a baptistery and the water considered to have healing properties. It is within the council area of Gloucester (Gloucestershire).
