THE article on the wells interested me particularly because I have direct experience of the healing effect of St Anthony's Well.

My friend Alan had very acute psoriasis of the hands for many years, despite doctors prescribing various creams. So when he came on a visit I persuaded him that we should go and try the water at the well.

Not only did he bathe his hands in the water but brought some away in a bottle we brought with us to use at home. He still has that bottle of water because it wasn't needed! Very quickly the psoriasis started the clear up and has never returned to his great relief.
