  1. Holy Wells - St Ann's Well

    Share Share Post
    St Ann's Well (ii)
    There are many holy wells in the county Wexford, two of which are St. David's Well at Ballinaslaney, and St. Ann's Well in the village of Tomhaggard.
    St. David's feast - day is the 21st of January and St. Ann's is the 12th of July. St. Ann's Well is situated in a hilly field, and to get to the well it is necessary to go up three steps and down four steps.
    There is a statue of St. Ann there which is very big and which can be seen from the roadway.
    People go there always and take away St. Ann's water with them. They leave many things at the well such as candles and rosary beads
