EDITORS COMMENTS
Nestled in the picturesque village of Crantock, near Newquay in Cornwall, England, lies the ancient St. Ambrew's Well, a 10th-century water source dedicated to the Cornish saint, St. Ambrew. This iron door with an intricately carved face of a man serves as a protective cover for the well, which has been a vital community resource for over a thousand years. The well, surrounded by lush greenery and ancient stones, has been a source of fresh water for the local residents since the Middle Ages. The carving on the door, depicting a stern-faced man, is believed to represent St. Ambrew himself, watching over the well and ensuring its purity. The well's history is steeped in legend and folklore. It is said that St. Ambrew, a hermit who lived in the area, discovered the spring and used its healing waters to cure the sick and infirm. Over time, the well became a place of pilgrimage, drawing people from far and wide in search of its miraculous properties. Today, St. Ambrew's Well remains an important part of the local community, not only as a source of fresh water but also as a symbol of the area's rich history and cultural heritage. The iron door, with its ancient carving, serves as a reminder of the well's long and storied past, inviting visitors to imagine the stories and legends that have unfolded around it over the centuries.
