“There is a well in Tissarn on Mrs Soyers Wallers land.”
There is a well in Tissarn on Mrs Soyers Wallers land. General Lestrange lived here on this land at one time. The people of the general's house were using the water for washing and the water turned into blood when they brought it to the house. They said then it was not a right well and they closed it. Soon after the well sprang up inside in the house. The people of the house opened the well again and built an arch over it. This arch is there to the present day.
