An interesting opportunity to bring together the academic world and Wells and Spas research to possibly tackle one of the main questions (as I see it) about holy wells, i.e. construction date, landed in my inbox today. Anyway, email as follows:

Dear all,
English Heritage is carrying out an in-depth study into the
identification and source/supply problems with indigenous building
stones in England. The study comprises the identification of building
stone(s), representative stone built buildings, villages and other
structures, and the identification of their historic sources on a county
by county basis.
We are looking for help from the local and regional heritage and
conservation bodies to provide any digital data held - possibly in shape
file format - that can be made freely available to help with the
collation of county data.
This could include: Listed Building data - Grid Refs, building materials
etc ; any known research on building stones and quarries; any
information on local building lists.
If you are able to assist please contact Tarnia McAlester, Project Manager - Strategic Stone Study [log in to unmask]" target=_blank rel=nofollow ymailto="mailto:[log in to unmask]"> [log in to unmask] 01746 769409 07717 711382

Surely this is a good project to contribute HW data to?
