Bothel, Torpenhow

At Bothel, in the parish of Torpenhow, a stream rises from a well which supplies the village with water. The proverbial “oldest inhabitant” asserted that this stream ran blood on the day of King Charles’s martyrdom. He would not be surprised to hear that the “Boulder Stone” in the vicinity was carried from Norway by the fairies. If they believed the same authority, Plumbland put in a claim for the virtues of this well also, but one could not decide to which parish it belonged. [The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England by Robert Charles Hope (1893)]

(Note I am unsure of the exact location of the well)
