- St Manchan's Well
One day while St Manchan was walking he became very thirsty + could find no water. He struck a rock and a spring burst forth.
It is believed that there are three crosses at the bottom of the well and that there is a spring in each cross.
The well cures nearly every disease especially cancer and warts. Whoever wishes to be cured must go to the well on three Fridays at 3 oclock and take a drop of water from the well + pour it into the font at the end of the Chapel and say one "Our Father" + three "Haill Marys" to the Saint. The third day he must come through the window at the end of the Chapel + believing in the Saint will be cured. He must have some token at the Well.(continues on next page)- Collector
