A little below the Hall [Patterdale] is a well called St Patrick's Well, where it is said that saint baptized several persons in the year 540, when he was shipwrecked upon Duddon Sands, in his road from Dublin. It was surrounded with four square stones, but the road being repaired, they were removed, and never set up again; although Dr Osbaldeston Bishop of Carlisle, and the Dean of Exeter, when they visited this part, actually paid a man for setting them up, being unwilling that so early a piece of Christian antiquity should be destroyed. ..." |
