=== Fair Rosamund's Well and Rosamund's Green === According to local tales, "Rosamund's bower" (probably an early version of the labyrinth) was demolished when [[Blenheim Palace]] was built.<ref name="bbcoxf"/> Today, Fair Rosamund's Well ({{coord|51.845070|-1.3677058|}}) is a paved [[Spring (hydrology)|spring]] in the park of Blenheim Palace in [[Woodstock, Oxfordshire|Woodstock]], Oxfordshire. It is located to the south of the Grand Bridge on the western shore of The Lake, sometimes called Brown's Lake after 18th-century [[landscape architect]] [[Capability Brown]]. According to a 2014 [[BBC]] article, "[T]he well had become 'somewhat overgrown and at risk of becoming damaged'".<ref>{{Cite news |date=22 July 2014 |title='Fair Rosamund' well to be restored |language=en-GB |work=[[BBC News]] |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-28426782 |access-date=5 January 2019}}</ref> [[File:Rose- Rosa Mundi.JPG|thumb|''Rosa mundi'' rose|200x200px]] Rosamund is also associated with the village of [[Frampton on Severn]], Gloucestershire, another of her father's holdings. Walter de Clifford granted the mill there to [[Godstow Abbey]] for the good of the souls of his wife and daughter. The [[village green]] of Frampton became known as Rosamund's Green by the 17th century.<ref>[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=15790 Victoria County History of Gloucestershire: Frampton on Severn]</ref>
