  1. Origin of Our Lady's Well

    Share Share Post
    1. In olden times there was an old blind man who lived in a little hut inside the gate at Lady Well. In those days rushes were used for light. They were dried and dipped in grease.
    2. He went out to pull a bunch. He stooped and pulled a bunch. The water sprang up and immediately his sight was restored.
    3. From that day after people came to pray and perform and were cured of their diseases up to the present day.
