St Rumbold's Well is a medieval spring source and associated structure located in Buckinghamshire. The well represents a site of Christian devotion centred on a natural water source, likely developed during the medieval period when such springs were often sanctified and dedicated to saints. The monument comprises the physical remains of the well structure itself, which would have served both practical and religious functions for local communities. St Rumbold's Well exemplifies the medieval practice of Christianising pre-existing natural features and incorporating them into the spiritual landscape of the parish.
