Hey Goff. I was at a really nicely kept pair of holy wells yesterday. One of them has a coffin-shaped trough in front of it, where it was customary to dunk coffins into before burial at the nearby church. Rather an odd one, that.

That IS odd! I wonder how that came about? What was it called? I really must get meself over to Ireland one day and have a good look for meself... Cheers, matey!
