Who could ever know that a humble drain grate would conceal one of London's famous holy wells -- David Furlong, that's who!

From his exhaustive Holy Wells of London website: (visit link)

"St. Agnes Well- Kensington Gardens (TQ 2671 8068)

I can find very little mention of this well, excepting the naming of St Agnes Villas on the other side of the Bayswater Road to be found on the 1830 Greenwood map of London. The well is situated close to the pump house facing the Italian Gardens and is marked by a small square metal cover."
