Well Dressing Service (in The Nook), Stoney Middleton

Stoney Middleton, Well Dressing Service (in The Nook)

“The Church plays a prominent part in the custom of Well Dressing, which takes place on or about the last Saturday in July. The wells are blessed at a Service in the Nook outside the Church gates.”

[Quotation from Stoney Middleton Church booklet ‘Notes for Visitors’]

This particular photograph is of the Service in 1977, and it is taken from an upper window in ‘Spa Cottage’.
