[117] Dr. Whitaker's History of Whalley.
[118] Mr. Baines, in his History of Lancashire (vol. iii. p. 760), says that in Wavertree is an ancient well with a rude, unintelligible inscription, of the date of 1414, which is thus charitably rendered by the villagers:—
"He that hath, and won't bestow,
The Devil will reckon with him below."
Or,
"He who here does not bestow,
The Devil laughs at him below."
