What reading level is Higher Wharfeland the Dale of Romance From Ormscliffe to Cam Fell book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
223 ST. HELEN'S WELL, because dedicated to Helena, mother of Constantine the Great. This pious lady, supposed to have been a daughter of the Celtic race, was held in great reverence by the early British Church, though probably of obscure parent- age. She founded the Church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem, and the Church of the Nativity at Bethlehem. Many wells in various parts of England, formerly held sacred, still bear her name ; moreover in the North of England, and in Yorkshire especiall...y, a number of churches were dedi- cated to her. It is quite reasonable to suppose that Loup Scar was the scene of Druidic worship, to which the wells of the Saints Helena and Margaret add strong confirmatory evidence. To a Druid's altar a well was essential, the frequently recurring Halikeld presumably designating such wells. In pagan ceremonial and symbol water played an important part ; nearly every river, stream, and well had its presiding goddess or nymph, to whom oblations were due. As objects of adoration, these wells obtained a great share of attention, which was not interfered with until Christianity had obtained a predominating influence, when, by the canons of King Edgar, the priests were ordered to wean their flocks from such false practice, and a Saint's name allotted to the wells.
