Wishing Well

These are The Wells. I'm not exactly sure what their original purpose was, maybe public water for the town. They are not for throwing coins in. They're quite a focal point in Bisley as every spring school children get dressed up to dress the wells. I didn't quite understand this phenomenon until I saw a photo of kids in long gowns placing large flowered wreaths on and around the wells. Very pretty and traditional. The flowers had long since died by the time I got there. I like traditions like this. Makes me wish I had grown up in a small town.
