Nun's Well (Cannock Wood)
Nun's Well is a spring just inside the village of Cannock Wood in Staffordshire, England, at the base of the Mercia Mudstone Group.[1] There is no evidence that nuns ever lived there, and the name appears to originate in the grant of part of Cannock Chase by Henry II to a priory at Farewell.[2] Slag remains, possibly of a bloomery, have been found there.[3]
