Y^e Whole rock is Continually dropping with water besides y^e Showering from the top w^{ch} ever runns and this is Called the dropping well. There is an arbour and y^e Company used to Come and Eat a Supper there in any Evening to have the pleaseing prospect and the murmuring Shower to Divert their Eare; in a good Space of tyme it will harden Ribon Like Stone or any thing Else. Ffrom Harragate to Cockgrave is 6 mile where is a Spring of exceeding Cold Water Called S^t Mongers Well; the Story is of a Child y^t was Laid out in y^e Cold for the parishes Care and when the Church-Wardens found it they took Care of it—a new born Infant—and when it was baptised they gave it the Name of “Amongst” because they said the Child must be kept among them, and as the papist sayes he was an Ingenious Child and so attained Learning and was a very religious man and used this spring to wash himself; after sometymes that he had gotten prefferrment and so grew Rich he walled the Spring about and did many Cures on diseased bodies by batheing in it, w^{ch} Caused after his death people to frequent the Well w^{ch} was an Inconveniency to y^e Owners of y^e ground, and so they forbad people Coming and Stopped up y^e Well; and the Story sayes on that severall judgments Came on the owners of y^e Ground and y^e Spring broke up all about his Ground w^{ch} forced him to open it againe and render it usefull to all that would Come to Washe in it—thus farre of y^e fable.
