Kniveton Well Dressing at Kniveton

An ancient custom that's only found in or around the borders of Derbyshire. Well dressing might date back to the celts, or perhaps even earlier. Well dressing at it's simplest, is the art of decorating springs and wells with pictures made of growing things. Kniveton will have four wells dressed. These will be the children's well opposite the Church, school well, pump well and Chapel well.
