    they use it in their house as holy-water. People leave things after them at holy wells such as a half-penny or a hair-pin or a bit of a rosary-beads or a pin. Some priests say it is not right to leave such things at holy wells, they say it is only superstition. There are no fish in this well now but in olden times there was one little fish in it.
