- There is one holy well in our district that I know about. It is situated in Charles Denny's lane. I never heard about anyone being cured at it, but is supposed to be a cure for sore eys and warts.
But no old people ever heard a thing about it. All they knew was that there (thing) was a great number of broken bottles in it. And nothing ever grew in the garden beside it. Some time after that a Priest was passing [?] and he saw the little well So he knelt down and tasted the water. Then he blessed the well. But I never heard the name of the priest.- Collector
