Where St Osyth was murdered a sacred spring gushed forth. The waters were used to cure all manner of illnesses. The well site is apparently still in existence in Nun’s Wood, about a mile and a half from the Priory House. It is a spring with a brick culvert feeding a pond (named on the 1880 OS map as Dolphin Pond) close to what may be the ruin of the original nunnery.
