St. Patrick's Well, Heysham, Lancs. The nearby plaque reads: | |||
| "This is one of two holy wells in Heysham village (the other,
Sainty Well is on private property and covered over), whose dedications are
long since lost. Latterly the water from this well was used for utilitarian
gardening purposes within the confines of the old rectory." "Previously the well had fallen into disuse, suffered from surface contamination and became rubble-filled when the bank above gave way in the mid-1800s. In the early 1900s, the well-head was again rebuilt and the well itself was cleaned and made safe by capping with concrete. Recently (May 2002) the well-head has been refurbished and water artificially introduced, thus turning a derelict area into a feature of the village." |
