Dupath Well, Medieval holy well in Callington, England.
The granite building features a steep corbelled roof and weathered pinnacles at each corner, with a bell turret above the entrance.
The Augustinian canons of St Germans Priory constructed this well house over a natural spring around 1510 to provide water to local residents.
Local traditions connected the spring water with healing properties, particularly for treating whooping cough, drawing visitors seeking natural remedies.
The well house remains open for visitors during daylight hours, with designated parking available in the adjacent working farmyard.
Two Saxon men, Colan and Gottlieb, engaged in a fatal duel near the well while competing for the affection of the same woman.
