Well Dressings in the Peak DistrictWell Dressings in the Peak DistrictWell dressing is the ancient art of decorating springs and wells with pictures made of petals,
peppercorns, leaves and other natural things. These are set onto a base of moist clay.
The earliest recorded examples are in Tissington, but the tradition quickly spread to other villages.
Sometimes, as in Youlgrave, the Dressings appeared at the village taps (pumps or fountains) to
celebrate the arrival of piped water; hence the reason why they are sometimes known as Tap Dressings.
This tradition is unique to the Peak District and Derbyshire and attracts visitors from far and wide.
