Summary

Description
English: St Anne's Well, Buxton, is a thermal spring that is dedicated to St Anne, the mother of Mary the Virgin. For centuries, the water was believed to have healing powers; it became so popular, in fact, that, in 1538, during Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries, Thomas Cromwell closed St Anne's Well. However, the well stayed famous well into the 19th century, by which time Buxton was a spa town.
