  1. Folklore - A Holy Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a holy well in Mr. Hayes land. It is dedicated to St. Bridget. She was a holy girl. Every night she came to this well and knelt down beside it and prayed. She stooped to get some holy water and she fell into the well. Ever since it is called St Bridget's well.
