A quiet well nestled in St Mylor churchyard, with a small gully running down to the wall and presumably out into the harbour just beyond it. The well water continues to be used in baptisms - a deliberate choice to link the current congregation with the ancient history of the church & the possible site of very early baptisms.

The fall to the healing pool in the Chalice Well Garden. Red from the iron oxide in the water the colour is attributed to the presence of the Grail, filled with Christ's blood and hidden somewhere near the source by Joseph of Arimathea, or to the blood of the local earth goddess, whose consort rules over the White Spring nearby. Home to Arthurian legends, 19th century occult societies, and a mingling of Christian and pagan pilgrims to this day the Well and her garden have a rich history. It was unbelievably hot that day so being able to stand in the pool was incredibly welcome.
