  1. (continued from previous page)
    Sunday people visit the well and make or stations there. They go round the well seven times saying one Our Father and five Hail Marys each time. Long ago a great pattern used to be held there on Garland Sunday, and cripples coming to pray at the well used to leave their crutches after them hoping to be cured. The water of this well is used by the people of the district for household purposes.
