  1. Blessed Wells

    Share Share Post
    We are told about a well that is in Hughe’s land. Some people say that St Patrick came to this well. We use this water for tea when every other well in the village of newbrook is dried out.
    But we never hear anyone say that these were used for pilgrimages performed at the well.
    One thing remarkably about this well it never gets mixed when taking water out of it. It is very clean to look into.
