Downloads – information on holy and healing wells

I’ve attached some downloadable holy well related books and articles. They are found on the web and no copyright hopefully has been preached but I thought it would be useful to have them in one place!

  1. Interested in book Holy Wells Essex does not seem to be available do you have any copies left? Or any chance of it being made available on kindle?

  2. Hi, I’d like to use your excellent picture of the spring in Huntingdon for a talk I am giving for a small engineering conference in Syracuse USA in 2 weeks (8th Nov 2015). May I have your permission to use it?

  3. Steve Northcott

    Kind regards, Steve (Northcott)

    Dear Sir or Madame

    I live in the US and have been reading on St Michael’s Healing well. I do not think I will ever get over to Ireland to see it in person. I am Catholic and have strong devotion to the church. Is there any website where I can request water from the well to be mailed to me?
    Thank you for your help

    Kindly
    Elizabeth Duncan
