  1. Holy Wells of Our District

    Share Share Post
    There are many Holy Wells around this district. Saints blessed the wells long ago.
    There is a holy well in Anney. It is supposed to have been blessed long ago. It is down among the rocks and when the tide comes in and flows into it the water is always fresh when the tide goes out again.
    If anyone is given to headache and goes down to the well with the intention of being cured and lifts some water and rubs it on his or her head it will be cured.
    I don't know the prayers that are said at the well. There is no turas to the well at any time
