Description: | A drawing in ink of Nottington well near Weymouth in Dorset. This springwater well was one of a number off the road known as Broadway. At the time Grimm made this picture, it was commonly used by farmers as a 'cure' for sick cattle and dogs. By the 1820s, however, Nottington gained a reputation as a spa and wells like this were visited by upper-middle-class townsfolk who used the waters as a restorative. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Grimm, Samuel Hieronymus | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
