Folklore

A visit was paid to St. Ann's Well, and its pure waters were very refreshing. Its legend is lost, as is many another, from the much more frequent changes of abode by the agricultural labourers in these days.
Further up in the same field is the Lady Well; and here, said Mr. Lewis, a lady is said to have committed suicide. Nobody goes for its waters as they do to St. Ann's, but happily the place seems not to be haunted.
In contrast to all the other tales of St Ann's Well!
From 'Transactions of the Woolhope Naturalists' Field Club (1883-85).
