He died 31 August 1772 aged 77</ref> states (writing in the 1750s):<blockquote>''"I happened luckily to be at this well upon the last day of the year, on which, according to vulgar opinion, it exerts its principal and most salutary powers. Two women were here, who came from a neighbouring parish, and were busily employed in bathing a child. They both assured me that people who had a mind to receive any benefit from St. Euny's Well must come and wash upon the three first Wednesdays in May. Children suffering from mesenteric disease<ref>''Mesenteric disease'' is tuberculosis of lymph glands inside the abdomen. An illness of children caused by drinking milk from cows infected with tuberculosis. Now uncommon as milk is pasteurised</ref> should be dipped three times in Chapel Uny [[Widdershins|widderschynnes]], and widderschynnes dragged three times round the well."''</blockquote> It is also referred to as St. Eurinus' or Uny's Well (i.e. well of St [[Euny]]) and may be confused with Saint Euny's Well at [[Carn Brea, Redruth|Carn Brea]].
