   This story comes from The Ragg. There was a woman who had a child very sick and she was up at night nursing it. One night at twelve o'clock she heard a voice at the window saying "Get Church ivy and (?) ham water". The woman got ivy at the church yard and water of "(?) ham" and made a poultice of them for the child and before the cocks crew that morning the child was well.
