Tullowphelim Holy Well, Carlow

Tullowphelim

Holy Well

Situated on Barrack Street in Tullow is this well-maintained holy well. It is obviously dedicated to the Virgin Mary, as the well house bears the inscription "Our Queen and Our Mother" A series of steps lead down from the street to the well. The top of the white-washed walls and the hood of the well house are painted blue. Information about the holy well is hard to come by, but I have discovered that a Patron was held here on the 8th September up until about 1800.
