St Tibbas Well
Hob Uid: 348337
Location : Rutland Ryhall
Grid Ref : TF0400010000
Summary : St Tibba's Well (unlocated)
More information : A spring on Tibbal's Hill, now corrupted to Stibbals's Hill, from Tolethorpe to Belmsford Bridge. On the brow of the hill near the spring is Hale Green. (1) Many current traditions relate the connection of St Tibba (c 690) patron saint of falconers, with Ryhalll... she is said to have been buried there, but her remains were removed to Peterborough. (2) "Tibbal's Hill" and "Belmsford Bridge" are unknown to local authorities including Rutland County Surveyor. Belmsthorpe is doubtless a corruption of Belmsford but no authority could be found to verify this. Tithe maps are not available and the well was not located. (3)
