St. John's well. St John's well called St John the Baptist well has been for centuries the most famous holy well in the Diocese. In former times it was frequented by people on St. John's Eve for devotional purpose on 20th of June and a pattern was held. Abuses crept in and in 1761 the pattern was stopped but still the pilgrimage continued.
