About
This ancient custom is unique to Derbyshire and is the art of decorating wells or springs with pictures made from natural materials.
Come along and watch the well dressers at work to find out how a well dressing is created, how long it takes and why we do it. Do you have the patience to outline a design on clay using pepper corns one at a time? We also use natural materials gathered from local foliage and, as much as we can, in the Cemetery itself.
