When the new German Village was constructed-Probably around 1987 -Thank you for watching Penny-A great area to walk surrounded by history from Neolithic to modern day ⭐👍

A very good thought provoking comment-You are so correct-Thank you for watching my small adventure in history ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you for watching-No not ever a pond at the spring but water transported to the Priory fed a fishpond for the Monks which is behind the Priory -The water and the subsequent stream still feeds this pond-Unfortunately the pond is on Private land with no access -Once again thank you for watching my small adventure in history ⭐

Hi I think there are no worries on that front as my channel is so niche -I have a group of well educated watchers and loyal subscribers -Looking at the age of my watchers 90% are over or around my age 65-Plus I do not obtain the big views that the large channels do-I agree totally with your comment if I get bigger, which is unlikely I will review provided locations-Strange thing that is more of a concern ,is that large channels sometimes bottom feed off of our smaller channels for content -To obtain views and the rewards that come from that-I am not monetised and only want to share historical interest-Thank you for watching my friend ⭐

I think because pre Christian religions dedicated springs to water gods and goddesses, like the Roman goddess Sulis. The Christian faith then took this belief over but ditched the pagan gods and rebranded the wells as Christian holy wells.

Due I am sure to the connection with the Priory-Also the comment from @jb below makes sense-Thank you for watching my small adventure in history and your thought provoking comment ⭐⭐

Thank you a great comment that answers so much-Also thank you for watching ⭐👍

If this well had a cross on top?....I saw a symbol mark which said that these wells were high in Phosphorus - good for the body

Thank you Bob for watching this small adventure in history-I really do appreciate your support 👍

Thank you Joe for watching my small adventure in history-I find most of my areas and historical wonders on old maps-You may find some interest in the USA using these-Once again a big thank you for watching ⭐⭐

So true you make a very important point-Thank you for watching my small adventure in history ⭐👍

Interesting -as always a forgotten area that has much more , neglected and forgotten-Thank you for watching

A great hidden part of Wiltshire history-Ideal in the Winter as you quite correctly state in the Summer too many nettles and flies -Thank you for watching Tony ⭐

Diameter is the trunk I think ?

@jameswalksinhistory3848 diameter is the width across the Base from one side to the other, circumference is all the way around the base , sorry I shouldn't be so pedantic, but the two measurements are hugely different

So true Pauline-Thank you for watching
