S.t Winefrids Well usually called Holy Well near Flint in North Wales. A fountain of great Antiquity and celebrated to the memory of S.t Winefrid a Christian Virgin, whose purity being dearer to her than life, submitted to be beheaded near this place, rather than yield to the Lust of Caradock, an Heathen Prince. A neat Chapel is built over the bead of the Spring and the Water gushes out with so rapid a Stream as to turn a Mill, within a few Yards.
