To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is enclosed within walls, which were partially de- stroyed in the time of Cromwell, by Major Ceeley of St. Ives, but the remains of them are still suf- ficiently entire to exhibit the form of an ancient Baptistry. * The inner wall with its window and door-way, and the altar with a square hole or socket in the centre, which received the foot of the cross or image of the patron saint, are still perfect. The foundation of the outer wall, or anti-room, may be traced with great ease. Superstition... has, of course, attributed many virtues to waters which had been thus hallowed, and this Well, like that of Chapel Euny, has been long celebrated for its medicinal efficacy in restor- ing motion and activity to cripples, t Baptism was administered only at the stated times of Easter and Whitsuntide ; but, at all seasons, the virtues of the waters attracted the lame and the impo- tent ; and the altar was at hand to assist the devotion of their prayers, as well as to receive the offerings of their gratitude.
