Description
The Lady's Well is a well or water tank located in Harbottle, dating back to possibly Roman times. The tank measures approximately 15 by 10 yards and was reconstructed in 1788, during which new low edging walls were added. At that time, a statue representing St. Paulinus was brought from Alnwick Castle and placed in the center of the tank. In the late 19th century, the statue was moved to the south end of the tank and replaced by a Celtic-style wheel-head cross. The site is reputed, though with uncertain evidence, to be where mass conversions by Paulinus took place on Easter Day in A.D. 627, but it is more likely to have served as a preaching station for St. Ninian.
