Dupath Well
📍 Cornwall, England
About
Dupath Well is a holy well house and chapel dedicated to St. Ethelred, constructed over a spring. It is a Grade I listed building, having been added to the register on 21 July 1951.
Said to have been built in 1510 by the Augustinian canons of St Germans Priory, though the spring may have been venerated since pre-Christian times. Dupath is an unusually large and late example of a Cornish holy well-house, surviving largely unaltered. Pilgrims suffering from skin diseases and whooping cough came to bathe in its healing waters. Managed by English Heritage, free to visit.
