   the water of the well is as clear as crystal. A lot of the village people use this water. There are not many cures recorded from this well.
   St. Bridget's well was in Brideswell for anumber of years and it used to cure various diseases, but suddenly it went dry, and it came up again in Longridge and twelve candles burning around it about a mile away from Brideswell, and it is up on a bank over a river. It is there a good while now, and there are a lot of beads and medals and other things there, which prove that the well can cure.
   There are a lot of blessed wells in this country and nearly everyone of them can cure something and people have great belief in them.
