- There are a good many blessed wells in Ireland. Long ago Saints appeared in different places all over Ireland and wells sprang up in those places. The people opened those wells and decorated the places with flowers and shrubs. They put the statue of the Saint over the well and more statues around it. There is a blessed well in Newhall dedicated to St John the baptist. People come there to perform rounds on the 29th of June.
