The Holy Well is set on the slopes of the Malvern Hills above Malvern Wells. The well is believed to be the site of the oldest bottling plant in the world.〔 The Malvern spring water was first bottled on a commercial scale at the well and the building houses a modern commercial bottling plant. ==History== In 1559 the manor and vicarage of Hanley Castle were bought from the Crown by John Hornyold Esq. Within the manor lay a prolific spring known today as the Holy Well spring. In 1743 Dr John Wall analysed the spring water. He published his analysis of the water, stating that the water contained "nothing at all". Edward Popham of Tewkesbury was partially cured of his gout at the Holy Well in 1747 and as a vote of thanks erected a small bath that probably resembled a modest stone sink. In 1853 the Holy Well and nearby Bath Cottage were purchased from squatters by Thomas Charles Hornyold, who extended the building that housed the baths and spa at a cost of £400. The building was listed as Grade II and of Architectural Interest in the 1970s.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Holy Well, Malvern」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
