   The particular efficacy accorded to the water is the curing of head-aches and of other ailments of the head. (Information given by Mrs Mary Meade, of Crooke, aged about 82 years, and on whose land the well is situated). It is also used in cases of sick cattle. There were never offerings made. The pattern was held annually up to about 40 or 50 years ago. The attendance gradually diminished and finally dwindled away, though people in the immediate neighbourhood still drink the water and take away bottles of it on the 29th August.

   The well is situated in a field known as the "The Castle Field". About 30 yds from the well is a very ancient ruin of a Knights' Templars Castle. The well is large and deep and a small but steady stream runs from it. It is built in by large square stones similar to those in the ruin, and is covered in by those stones. The entrance is flagged by large flat stones. It is well-preserved and kept clean by the owner of the land on which it is situated. However long the water is in bottles it still retains its fresh flavour.
