...we came across St Agnes' Well. Sparkling water bubbling up along a little lane not far from the village of Allerton. Enchanted by this, I sent an email to a priest-friend who has a special devotion to Agnes -his former parish was dedicated to this saint. It's known as a "holy well". Hmmm. Research reveales that the well was actually named for the daughter of the local landowner in the 19th century...but the spring is evidently older than that, so maybe there is a link to the Saint anyway...
Country walks, family time, a visit to a family grave in a country graveyard, local cloudy cider and excellent cheese, glorious views across Exmoor to the sea...and tomorrow we head back to London.
New projects - this afternoon was spent sorting out the diary for speaking engagements and history walks,.. and on arrival home, it's time for work on editing the latest EWTN programme, filmed in Poland earlier this year, ready for broadcasting early in 2015...
