Re: Ladywell (Abbotskerswell) by Anonymous on Tuesday, 29 April 2014
i was born in the village ,we always had a jug of well water on the table for Sunday dinner, it was always cold ,no one knew where the water came from.It was always great in the long hot summers when we were kids,lovely cold water , although there was sometimes the odd dead frog in there it did''nt worry us.My grandmother always told us that the water was good for the eye complaints?, have never put it to the test,it was never know to us as a sacred well ,still that was a long time ago, we lived at Barnfield Terrace opposite the Butchers Arms
