1. Adamstown (Baile Abbáin) - The Blessed Well (St Abban's Well)

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   There is a blessed well in Adamstown called Abban's Well, because St.Abban is the patron Saint, and he blessed it.
   A pattern is held there every year on , and it is reckoned to be one of the biggest patterns in the country.
   All the people who have friends and relations buried in the Graveyard visit it, "dress up" the graves, and afterwards make their "rounds" to the Well. This custom is held all over the County Wexford. The people visit their dead once a year. That is, they clean off the grass off the graves and put flowers on them.
   There is a special day - a Sunday - every year in each district, or for every graveyard, for the pattern.
