St Sidwells history

The springs of St Sidwell’s were tapped by the Romans for the needs of the city and their water was piped via wooden aqueducts to supply their citadel. The settlement’s current name derives from Saint Sidwell, a devout young girl who was beheaded by her father’s farm labourers in fields outside the East gate at a site where a spring was struck.
