Once a major shrine, the well water was believed to have healing properties and the nearby chapel was visited by sailors seeking safe journeys or giving thanks for a safe return. John Cabot came here and King Henry VII brought his pregnant queen to pray for a safe delivery –St Anne was the patron saint of childbirth.

On 28 July King Henry VII will ledd the procession with his Queen and entourage.
