Born in Flintshire, Wales she joined a convent in Denbighshire where she
died in 650. Around the time her remains were transferred and interred
at the Benedictine Abbey in Shrewsbury in 1398 legends about her life
and death originated. One of these tells how a local chieftain she
refused to marry decapitated her and where her head rested the spring
known as Holywell originated. The legend continues that Winifred's
uncle, St. Beuno, restored her head and her life and she joined a
convent.
The Holywell has continued as an unbroken shrine of Christian
pilgrimage, even through times of persecution, until the present day.
Artwork by the Benedictine Sisters of Turvey Abbey.
