well

Becky Hoghton

Prompted by the veneration of St Pancras as the patron saint of health and St Pancras Old Church as the site of a lost healing well, this is the sound of a pilgrimage across four holy wells of London. Starting at St Giles - the patron saint of disabilities - church in Cripplegate, winding through Clerks Well in Farringdon and Powis Well behind Great Ormond Street Hospital, the serendipitous field recordings conclude at the Old Church.
