Her prayer shed and the capped well are in the Park. When the well went dry, it is said that Ann’s prayers brought water forth again. Annswell Court seniors’ residence also perpetuates the name.   Go to page: [<< Prev]29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 [Next >>]
