Saint Winifred or Saint Winefride (Welsh: Gwenffrewi; Medieval Latin: Winefrida) was a 7th-century Welsh Christian woman around whom many historical legends have formed. A healing spring at the traditional site of her death is now a shrine and pilgrimage site called St Winefride’s Well in Holywell Flintshire Wales known as the Lourdes of Wales.
