- (continued from previous page)There are three Holy Wells between Blessington and Lacken.
The Holy Well in Lacken is used to cure all ailments. The people that go there put the blessed water on the sore and rub it well.
It has proved successful in most cases.
It is situated down under the Chapel.
There was a wall put around it about 2.5 years ago.
The wall was put over the well and caused the water to spring up outside the well. This is a beautiful spring. It was blessed by Father Germain then P.P. of Valleymount about the year 1867.
Then it was again blessed by Father Owens P.P. of Valleymount in the year 1865.- Collector
