_Muswell Hill_ derives its name from a famous well on the hill, where,
formerly, the fraternity of St. John of Jerusalem, in Clerkenwell, had
their dairy, with a large farm adjacent. Here they built a chapel for
the benefit of some nuns, in which they fixed the image of our Lady of
Muswell. These nuns had the sole management of the dairy: and it is
singular, that the said well and farm do, at this time, belong to the
parish of St. James, Clerkenwell. The water of this spring was then
deemed a miraculous cure for scrofulous and cutaneous disorders. For
that reason it was much resorted to; and, as tradition says, a king of
Scotland made a pilgrimage hither, and was perfectly cured.
