 FGVW - About the Woods - Gipton Spa - Taking the Waters in Old Leeds
The latter, a sulphur well, was said to aid rheumatism and rickets, such as affected Thoresby's son Richard.
He also enjoyed Gipton Spa, whose bath house is still in Gledhow Valley Road, near its junction with Roundhay Road; their waters were celebrated in the district.
We cannot be sure that other wells were sacred as such, although this may seem strange; indeed, with evidently the same puzzlement, Thoresby himself remarked of Gipton Spa, that 'in a Romish Country [it] could not have missed the Patronage of some noted Saint'.
