The River Ouse, York
‘There is an old tradition, possibly credited by some at the present time, that if anyone casts five white stones into a particular part of the river Ouse, near the city, as the clock in the Minster tower strikes one on May morning, he will see on the surface of the water, as if looking into a mirror, whatever is desired of the past, present, and future. . ‘[The Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England by Robert Charles Hope (1893)]
