Saint of the day: Saint Allan was a Sixth Century Cornish monk now most famous for his well in Denbighshire. For a price, followers of the saint can write their enemies' names on pebbles and drop the stones in the water. The saint will then visit the victim with cramps, making "Allan's Well" the first cursing well.
