St. Tabitha's well on Tibbiwell Street, Painswick
Recently I've been taking pictures of local wells and springs whenever I pass by them, and this is St. Tabitha's well on Tibbiwell Street, Painswick. It is the continuation of Bisley Street to the south-east of the town, leading very steeply down to St. Tabitha's well, an important source of water recorded from the 17th century. The road continued down to a crossing of the Painswick stream, and the growing importance of the cloth industry encouraged development on the west slope of the Painswick valley along that route, and then along Vicarage Street from the 17th century.
