- Blessed wells are very scarce in this district. I only know of one in this parish it is St John's well Newhall. Newhall lake is very near it. It is noted all over the County for cures. People visit it especially during the month of June. There is one special day for visiting it and that is the twenty ninth of June. A little girl who had no talk and was seven years stayed up there St John's night and when they were leaving in the morning the girl was able to speak. A boy with a crutch and his mother did the same thing and when they were leaving in the morning the boy left the crutch hanging on the tree.
