We’ll be once again hosting the Well Dressing Ceremony at St Cleer Holy Well and Cross this May and warmly invite you to join us.The event is set to take place on Friday 3rd May from 10.15am – 11.15am and is open to the general public. It will involve the children from St Cleer Primary School and the local community. The blessing of the well will take place in Cornish and English, with short prayers by the local Curate and singing. Cornish dancing will also take place.
Everyone is welcome and booking is not required.
Thought to date from the late 15th or early 16th century, St Cleer Holy Well is a Scheduled Monument and also Listed Grade One – a demarcation earned by only 2.5% of listed buildings and marking it out as nationally important.
The site came into the care of Cornwall Heritage Trust in November 2022. Due to our interventions, it was removed from the Heritage at Risk Register in November 2023 making this year’s Well Dressing Ceremony a particularly special cause for celebration.
