This well, while having the memory of David Walken's first steps, also has the memory of the final moments of Sarah Lewis's tears that fell and mixed with the mudpath as she finally gave up all hope of ever understanding herself and hung herself by the neck from the wooden bar, that today, wouldn't have the strength to hold such a weight.
The well watched in horror as a fourteen year old child called Chris Babe got angry at his dog, hit it too hard, and watched as the boy killed it. So the boy chucked the dog down the well, who was later rescued by parents and crying sisters after the smell convinced the father, Peter Babe, to lower himself down and take a look.
A simular incident happened when a cat fell down it. When the owner, Jack Parsons, who was watching, went to rescue it, he fell to the bottom, snapping his neck and squashing the otherwise unhurt cat. Both were pulled out by the police.
Rachel Edwards was raped in the bush that lies to the northeast of the well. Afterwards, she cried for hours with her head over the well, and was sick into it.
Jessica Mathia was impregnated on the mud path that leads to the well. She gave birth to twins, one of which died from heart failure two weeks afterwards.
The well, of course, had also been told many things.
For example, Jake Waters had thrown a penny into the well, and asked if his parents would stop hitting him when he broke things.
Gary Strange had asked the well, after throwing in a fifty pence piece, to help him find the courage to ask Katie Bond out on a date. The well did nothing. Gary asked Katie out.
Andrew Williams once asked the well if it could stop him from dying from cancer. Andrew then smiled at it, and told it he was joking, he knew the well couldn't do anything, and told it not to worry.
The well could recite for hours, the thousands of things that people had talked to him about. If it could talk.
But it can't.
The morale of the story?
Wells can watch, and wells can listen. But you can't tell what a well has seen, from just looking at it.
Not sure what to think of that. If I'm bored I usually sit around watching the lingerie show on the Fashion Channel, unlike Grix who likes to think about wells. {:)
