It seems a shame that we can have lost contact with a holy well. About 20 years ago when I was in Ireland I was aquainted with a holy well which was basically just a soggy corner of a field with a bit of a railing round and a statue.

When I visted the area again 10 years later a local resident had revamped it in such a lovely way with a newly built stone wall around it. All done in his own spare time as a hobby. It looked really lovely.
