Attractive view of the shrine of St. Winifrid (Gwenffrwd or Gwenfrewi) in the Flintshire town of Holywell.

She was a descendant of the early Kings of Powys. The well formed from the spring is a place of pilgrimage visited by, among others, Richard I, to pray for his Crusade; Henry V (both before and after his famous victory at Agincourt), who came on foot from Shrewsbury; and King James II, who came here to pray for a son (a prayer which was granted by the birth of the Old Pretender).

The geology of Staffa, particularly Fingal’s Cave with its cathedral like pillars, encouraged Sir Walter Scott, Queen Victoria, Boswell and Dr Johnson, to name a few, to visit and enthuse. Mendelssohn brought the attention of music lovers everywhere to Staffa when he completed his famous overture in 1831. From a collection of views, inscribed '24' upper right.
