Requited waters are the clearest

St. Julian’s Well, within the precincts of the Austin Friars at Ludlow (Co. Rutland, England), is, I imagine, like St. Julian’s Church, Shewsbury, dedicated in honro of St. Juliana, the virgin martyr of Nocodemia, who bound and scourged her demon-tempter, quenched the fire prepared to burn her with her tears, and arose unurt and refreshed from a boiling cauldron, and thus may have been considered a patroness of healing waters.
