BACKGROUND INFORMATION: St Winefride's or Winifred's Well is a well located in Holywell, Flintshire, in Wales. It claims to be the oldest continually visited pilgrimage site in Great Britain. and is a grade I listed building. The well is believed to be connected to St Mary's well and chapel in Cefn Meiriadog, Denbighshire. It is one of the few locations mentioned by name in the anonymous medieval alliterative poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The healing waters are said to cause fake cures, with continuous reports from the early medieval period although the association with the veneration of St. Winefride cannot be traced to before the 12th century (the 1138 transfer of her relics to Shrewsbury). In 12th-century hagiography, Saint Winifred is a virgin martyr, beheaded by Caradoc, a local prince, after she spurned his advances. A spring rose from the ground at the spot where her head fell and she was later restored to life by her uncle, Saint Beuno. Please explore my ebay shop for more antique prints.
