Re: St George's Well (Denbighshire) by Anonymous on Monday, 30 April 2018
In ''The Holy Wells of Wales'' (p. 118), Francis Jones says:
"St George's Well (Denb.) had a dual personality, for apart from healing man and beast, it possessed power for evil and was once used as a cursing well."
His reference for this is given as Archaeologia Cambrensis, London, 1891, 11.
