Historiographically, the publication of Janet and Colin Bord's "Sacred Waters" (1985) was influential in reviving interest in the history and folklore of holy wells in Britain. The same year saw the foundation of the journal "Source" by Mark Valentine. Attempts to maintain a regular journal for the study of holy wells have been erratic ("Source" enjoyed two runs from 1985 to 1989 and 1994 to 1998, and the web-based Living Spring has had only two issues to date) but postings on websites such as The Megalithic Portal show that there is still much interest in this category of ancient site. Some works of fiction have added to this modern interest. One of the most well known being "The Holy Well" (2007) by novelist and contemporary folksinger Colin Macpherson, who also recorded a song by the same name in 2013 and, more recently, another song 'Remembering The Holy Well' (2020)and who asserts that the focus of these works is an actual, ancient holy well.
