Cuddy's Well

Cuddy’s Well is the local name for St Cuthbert’s Well, this Georgian pant which gurgles away behind St. Cuthbert’s Church.

Water from the well is used in all baptisms at the church, in recognition of the fact that it was supposedly founded by St Cuthbert himself.

Legend has it that a girl called Eda suffered a paralysed arm after staying  away from church to sew a dress on the feast day of St Lawrence, but was miraculously cured by an apparition of St Cuthbert after drinking water from the well.
