St Maughold's Well

On St Maughold's Well: 'an old legend relates that is has so prolific a quality, that if a barren woman be placed in the saint's chair, and take a glass thereof, it imparts fecundity; but it probably lost its virtue, with the loss of the priests in whose custody it used to be.' (John Feltham, A tour through the Island of Mann in 1797 and 1798, M 09791)
