Chapel Euny in Cornwall, near the Bartinné circle, has a wishing (lucky) well near it. It was used on one of the three first Wednesdays in May. Children suffering from mesenteric disease are dipped three times “widderschynnes,” that is contrary to the sun’s motion, and dragged round the well three times in the same direction.[76] Edmunds[77] thus refers to this well:-- “Some years since I had the curiosity to go with a friend to Chapel Euny on one of these Wednesdays, and, whilst watching at a distance, we saw two women come to the well at the appointed hour, and perform this ceremony on an infant.” _Alsia Well_, in the parish of Buryan, same parish as Bolleit circle, has its well ceremonials on the first three Wednesdays in May. In Cornwall the May bathing ceremonial is even carried out in salt water.[78] The time chosen is the same as that at Madron and Chapel Euny, the first three Sundays in May. This Sunday in May celebration is not confined to Cornwall. At Eden Hall, Giant’s Cave, water with sugar is drunk on the third Sunday in May. A vast concourse of both sexes is present.[79] At Rorrington, a township in the parish of Chirbury, was a holy well at which a wake was celebrated on Ascension Day. In the account of this well given by Gomme (p. 82) we get a glimpse of many associated usages. “The well was adorned with a bower of green boughs, rushes, and flowers, and a may-pole was set up. The people walked round the well, dancing and frolicking as they went. They threw pins into the well to bring good luck and to preserve them from being bewitched, and they also drank some of the water. Cakes were also eaten; they were round flat buns from three to four inches across, sweetened, spiced, and marked with a cross, and they were supposed to bring good luck if kept.” The legend given by Quiller-Couch (p. 55) respecting St. Cuthbert’s well in North Cornwall is that “in olden times mothers on Ascension Day brought their deformed or sickly children here, and dipped them in, at the same time passing them through the aperture connecting the two cisterns; and thus, it is said, they became healed of their disease or deformity. It would seem that other classes also believed virtue to reside in its water; for it is said that the cripples were accustomed to leave their crutches in the hole at the head of the well.” At the village of Tissington, near Ashbourne, in Derbyshire, the custom of well-flowering is still observed on every anniversary of the Ascension (Hope, p. 48). We may gather from these associated observances at different places that the wells themselves were situated near circles, for the worshippers would not be distributed at such a time. This argument is strengthened by the custom of “waking the well” which took place on the patron saint’s day.
