Sacred wells? Medieval cathedrals?



Both cases have different historical trajectories in relation to healing i.e. one was a natural healing centre that became religious and the other was a built religious centre with healing as a alter minor adjucnt .

Darvill and Wainwright make different claims for Stonehenge that they don't apply to other similar monuments i.e. a purpose built healing centre , when the expectation of something like a cathedral would be more acceptable even if the healed belonged to a later period .
