Sulis was a water goddess who presided over the hot springs at Bath, now Somerset. These springs were called Aquae Sulis and had curative powers.
Sulis
She was one of the most important Roman/British deities and though a water goddess she also had solar powers which some claim is due to the heat of the springs. Another connection is that Sulis comes from the root suil which means ‘eye’. The connection between the eye and the sun as eye of the heavens is ancient and widespread across cultures.
