War of the Roses - 1455

Natural springs in the Weald provided clean drinking water to local villages and settlements. Access to fresh water was critical for survival and health, especially during the tumultuous periods of the War of the Roses. Springs like these could also serve as spiritual sites, as many believed such waters to have healing properties, making them important both practically and symbolically for the local population.

Crystal-clear springs bubbling gently among lush green foliage, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, creating dancing patterns on the water's surface, surrounded by wildflowers and a tranquil atmosphere.
