Thanks to everybody who is contributing such fascinating information about
wells in churches. To refine the question, does anybody know of any
ceremonies connected to the wells, particularly if they still take place
eg. blessing/distribution of the well water on the feast day of a
particular saint ?
I too was intrigued to read the reference to the hideous image at
Ardmore, I wondered whether it might have been a Sheila-na-gig, though
the pamphlet is so anti-Irish & catholics that I wondered whether it
might have just been a very weathered statue of Our Lady or another saint
that he chose to misinterpret.
